The main cement producer is Garadagh Cement. This plant meets 50% of the local cement demand (Garadag Cement is capable of producing 1 to 1.4 mn tons of cement per annum), while the rest is imported.
Notably, Azerbaijan produced 1.554 million tons of cement in 2006, with a 0.1% increase from 2005. It has been the highest indicator in Azerbaijan’s cement production history.
It is worth noting that the question of building a new cement plant in Azerbaijan is the focus of area of the government. The French company Lafarge is interested in undertaking this project.
