KYIV, Oct 17 - Ukrainian coking plants in January-September 2017 cut the production of metallurgical coke with 6% moisture content by 20.8% year-on-year, to 7.687 million tons.

Dnipro-based Ukrkoks association told Interfax-Ukraine that in September coke output amounted to 836,000 tons against 905,000 tons in August.

Ukrkoks Director General Anatoliy Starovoit said that last month coke production fell due to problems with logistics.
