Coal export receipts for Colombia, one of the world’s top coal-exporting countries, climbed to a 30-year record in April, data from government statistics agency DANE showed June 22.

In the previous month, receipts totaled $619.9 million, or $156.16/mt. On a $/mt basis, April receipts were the highest in more than 30 years of data collection. From January through April, coal receipts averaged $154.53/mt, up from $71.26/mt a year ago.
