* Coal sales in 2019 were at 27.8 million tonnes, up 13% from the previous year, as sales to Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Taiwan and Philippines grew and as it expanded to new markets such as Australia, Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia, the company said in a statement.

* For 2020, Bukit Asam is targeting to increase its coal output by 4.1% to 30.3 million tonnes and sales by 7.6% to 29.9 million tonnes.



* The company plans to sell 21.6 million tonnes in the domestic market and 8.3 million tonnes for exports.

* The higher sales target will be supported by a plan to export 2.3 million tonnes of medium- to high-calorie coal to premium markets.
