Adaro?s February production down

South Kalimantan based coal mining giant PT Adaro Indonesia said on Monday that during February, the company managed to produce 1.55 million ton of coal, lower than January?s production of 1.7 million tons.

?The decrease in production was due to Idul Adha holiday and because there are only 28 days in February,? said Priyadi, Adaro?s administration manager.

Priyadi said that during February, no heavy rainfall hit the mining site.

Adaro Indonesia, the country?s largest coal producer, plans to produce some 20 million tons of coal this year. (godang)
