Rwanda’s cement production is set to surge with the inauguration of the CIMERWA plant.
The country has been importing more than 500,000 tons of cement to meet its demand. The new plant will increase Rwanda’s annual cement production to 600,000 tons per year. This will allow the country to export 30% of its total cement production (about 200,000 tons) annually.
The new cement plant is expected to also boost its export revenues to over $85million per year. The country has set a target of reducing its trade deficit with an aim to boost cement exports by 28% every year by 2018.
Rwanda is looking at exporting to neighboring countries such as Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi.
The new plant is located in Bugarama, Rusizi district, to the Western Province of Rwanda. It meets global standards and uses the best practices in the cement industry to produce high-grade cement.
Busi Legodi, CEO of Cimerwa will elaborate more on Rwanda’s cement markets at 8th Africa CemenTrade Summit scheduled on 15-16 March, 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda.
