Coal is one of Indonesia's export commodities that generates significant foreign exchange. In 2021, total national coal exports reached 435.22 million tons.
China was the largest export destination in 2021, with 196.24 million tons. This is also Indonesia's largest coal export volume to China in the last 10 years.
Furthermore, Indonesia exported 72.12 million tons of coal to India in 2021. This volume decreased by 26% from 97.51 million tons in 2020.
Then Indonesia exported 30.16 million tons to the Philippines, 25.59 million tons to Malaysia, and 22.75 million tons to Japan.
Indonesia temporarily banned coal exports throughout January 2022. The shortage of coal supply for PLN (state-owned electricity company) was the reason for the export ban.
