Between January and March 2025, Australia was the largest supplier of coking coal to Turkey, followed by the US and Russia. However, over the same period in 2026, the ranking changed significantly, with imports from the US rising 266.5 percent year-on-year to 551,718 tonnes, putting the country in first place, while imports from Australia fell 20.7 percent to 458,009 tonnes, dropping it to second place.
