JAKARTA, May 24 (Reuters) - Indonesia expects total coal ouput to reach 320 million tonnes in 2010, compared to 300 million tonnes in 2009, Bob Kamandanu, chairman of Indonesian Coal Mining Association said on Monday.
"Coal demand is bullish, especially from China and India amd of course as a producer we will provide," Kamandanu said.
He said that illegal mining, which is not counted by the government, produced an average 40 million tonnes of coal every year, contributing to the total coal production.
In November, the association had said that Indonesia was expected to produce between 270-280 million tonnes of coal in 2010, up from 250-260 million tonnes in 2009. Those figures did not include coal produced by illegal miners.
