TOKYO, March 26 - Cosmo Oil Co Japan's fourth-largest refiner, said on Thursday it plans to cut its crude oil processing volumes for April-June by 9.3 percent year-on-year, citing declining domestic demand.

The company said it plans to reduce refining by 640,000 kl for the quarter, but did not give the total planned refining volume for the period.

A number of Japanese refiners have announced plans recently to cut second-quarter crude runs amid slow domestic demand and heavier seasonal maintenance.
