According to the National Bureau of Anhui Survey Organization survey results show that: in September, Anhui coal prices fell sharply again, the central than the 2.3% decline, from February this year, coal prices, the province has 8 consecutive months fell. At present, Anhui coal price total level is only equivalent to a quarter of 2012 70%.

At the same time, weaken the competitive advantage of coal industry.
