Production and consumption (or demand and supply) balance is an important instrument for production management, as well as a significant and susceptible indicator of the current market state. Production and consumption balance for metallurgical coke in Ukraine is being issued by our company monthly.

Coke consumption is being considered as a sum of the need for coke from separate Ukrainian iron & steel works and export demand for coke from countries-importers of Ukrainian products.

Coke supply is being considered as a sum of the production of coke by separate Ukrainian by-product coke plants and the volumes of metallurgical coke imported to Ukraine.

The comparison of produced and consumed metallurgical coke allows one striking a market balance for the last month, as well as since the beginning of the year
