XINHUA NEWS AGENCY  

HOHHOT, March 18

 

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has become the third largest coal producer and the largest coal production base in western China.

Statistics show that the region produced a record 112.3 million tons of coal in 2002, an increase of 26 percent year-on-year, and sold 111.6 million tons, up 36 percent. Its industrial added value totaled 2.28 billion yuan, up 28. 5 percent.

A regional official attributed the good result to the deepening of structural adjustment and deep processing of coal products.

In 2002, the region sold 58 million tons of coal within the region and 54 million tons to other parts of the country and overseas.
