“According to the Central Bank’s Monthly Economic Review for February 2010, total cement production rose by 18.1 per cent in January 2010 compared with January 2009 to reach 292,769 metric tonnes. “Growth in cement production has been gradual but steady through the years, reflecting increased economic activity,” the review says.”

 

“…..Pakistan- based Atif Zafar, a research analyst at JS Research, said early this month that East Africa is a region of great potential for cement exports. There has been a construction boom in East Africa as well as in Mozambique and Madagascar, partly thanks to the foreign aid given to this region for infrastructure development, he said.”  Source: Daily Nation, 24^th April 2010
