Japan steel eyes less reliance on Aussie coal
* Japanese steel eyes Russia, Mongolia for coal supply-assoc
* JFE output not impacted by Aussie floods-JFE Steel head
* For now rely on Aussie coal due to quality, competitiveness (Updates with comments, details)
TOKYO, Jan 26 (Reuters) Japanese steelmakers aim to turn to countries such as Russia and Mongolia in the future to reduce their reliance on Australia for coal, the head of Japan's steel industry association said on Wednesday.
Flooding across Australia's eastern seabord over the past month has brought the country's coal mining inudstry to a virtual standstill, prompting Asian steel mills, which rely on the region for supplies, to seek alternative sources. [ID:nAUSSIE]
Eiji Hayashida, chairman of the Japan Iron and Steel Federation and president of fifth-largest steel firm JFE Steel Corp (5411.T), said the floods have triggered a rise in raw materials prices.
For now steel makers must continue to rely on Australia, but longer-term they will diversify procurement, Hayashida said.
"Japan's industry aims to diversify supply sources to such countries as Russia and Mongolia, but that will take more than two to three years. We need to rely on Australian coal for a while, given its cost competitiveness and quality," he told a regular news conference.
Hayashida said he did not see any impact on JFE's production through at least March, unless there was more flooding or damage to infrastructure.
"We are not worried about the volumes of raw materials," he said. "A big problem is a surge in the input costs in anticipation of shortages after this temporary phenomenon."
China's coal imports up 31% in 2010 (Mongolia 4th largest coal exporter)
BEIJING, Jan. 27 (Xinhuanet) -- China imported 164.83 million tons of coal in 2010, up 30.99 percent on the previous year and coal exports declined 15.03 percent for the same period to 19.03 million tons, the Beijing News reported Thursday, citing data from the nation's top economic planner.
The National Development and Reform Commission said Indonesia was the largest coal exporter to China, followed by Australia, Vietnam, Mongolia and Russia. The five accounted for 84 percent of the nation's coal imports.
Last year's coal net imports stood at 145.8 million tons, up 42.37 million tons or 29 percent from the previous year, the report said.
Citibank issued a report earlier, predicting China's net coal imports will surge to 63 percent this year to over 200 million tons, due to the nation's strong demand and high dependence on coal as energy.
Coal industry insiders also believe China will see more coal imports this year, the report said.

Mongolian farm with Aussie spin
January 27 (The Land) ON A farm 1000 kilometres east of Mongolia’s capital, Ulaanbaatar, an Australian and his Mongolian-born wife are breaking ground on wheat’s newest frontier.
Rather than buy a property in Australia, they’ve invested in a 9500-hectare cropping enterprise a stone’s throw from the Chinese border.
And they are finding its potential as a grain producer is only just being rediscovered.
Trading as Munkh Tal Company Ltd (Eternal Steppe), Chris Lightfoot and Uugana Erdene acquired their farm in 2006 when the Mongolian Government began to offer title over land which had belonged to the State under the previous socialist system.
“It’s an opportunity that only comes once in most economies,” said Mr Lightfoot, a consultant economist based in Melbourne.
Their country was farmed for about 30 years under the socialist regime but had been out of production for 20 years.
…
“The no-till system really proved itself this year – not only did we get the highest yield, but we also achieved the best quality.”
A break like this was needed, because all the farm’s improvements had to come from cash flow.
This year the couple plans to sow 1500ha, and next year 2500ha, but Mr Lightfoot said they needed about $5 million to develop the full 9500ha, “so that’s what keeps you poor”.
Despite this, the capital return on investment has been about 25pc – and that had included “two complete wrecks”.
