Vietnam expects that crude oil exports, the country’s second-biggest source earnings after textiles, could fall 28.2 percent in 2010 to 9.43 million tonnes, or 189,400 barrels per day, a state-run newspaper reported on Thursday. The Industry and Trade Ministry forecasts coal exports next year at 17 million tonnes, the Vietnam Economic Times newspaper cited the ministry’s industry development report as saying. Coal exports, most of which go to Japan and China, would drop 32 percent from this year’s expected 25 million tonnes, based on the projection by top coal miner Vinacomin. Source: Reuters
