Activity Description
This dataset is a market activity dataset. Each market represents a consumption mix of products within a specific region, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product within that region. Markets encompass both producers and importers of the product within the same geographical area. Additionally, markets account for the transportation of products to consumers, as well as losses occurring during the transport process.
Process Description
Raw coal refers to coal that has been extracted from underground and only had visible gangue removed, without any further processing. Based on its degree of carbonization and physical characteristics, raw coal can be classified into types such as lignite, bituminous coal, and anthracite. Raw coal is widely used in energy, metallurgy, and the chemical industry, serving as an important energy foundation for the national economy.
