Among the total, hard coal (including coking and thermal coal grades) reached 57.43 mnt, up 62.8% on year. In contrast, lignite output dropped 11.6% on year to 5.05 mnt in H1, the data showed.<\/p>\n<p>Surging output enabled Mongolia to export more coal during January-June to the benefit of China &#8212; the destination for almost all outbound Mongolian coal.<\/p>\n<p>During H1, China received 59.82 mnt of Mongolian coal, up 60.7% from the import total during January-June last year, according to data from China&#8217;s General Administration of Customs (GACC), as Mysteel Global reported earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the share of Mongolian coal in China&#8217;s total H1 coal imports also grew to 26.5% from last year&#8217;s 16.8%, the GACC data show. This also pointed to China&#8217;s growing reliance on Mongolian coal as a major substitute to flatten out fluctuations in its domestic coal supplies, Mysteel Global notes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: This article has been published in accordance with a content exchange agreement between Mysteel Global and BigMint.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hard coal output rises 63% y-o-y, lignite production declines by 12% China&#8217;s Mongolian coal imports&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74154,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[313],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iron-steel"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4.jpg?v=1785236668",1280,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-150x150.jpg?v=1785236668",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-300x169.jpg?v=1785236668",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-768x432.jpg?v=1785236668",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-1024x576.jpg?v=1785236668",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4.jpg?v=1785236668",1280,720,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4.jpg?v=1785236668",1280,720,false],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-1115x715.jpg?v=1785236668",1115,715,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-800x500.jpg?v=1785236668",800,500,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-1024x576.jpg?v=1785236668",1024,576,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-540x340.jpg?v=1785236668",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4-400x250.jpg?v=1785236668",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?cat=313&#038;lang=en\" rel=\"category\">Iron &amp; Steel<\/a>","tag_info":"Iron &amp; Steel","comment_count":0,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-22-4.jpg?v=1785236668","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74153"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74155,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74153\/revisions\/74155"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/74154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
