Côte d’Ivoire to import 90,000t of cement

Côte d’Ivoire will import 90,000t of cement as the country tackles its cement shortage, according to the country’s government. The shipment is the first of a total import operation that will see 300,000t enter the west African nation.

The increase in real estate construction projects has led to a surge in cement demand, putting upward pressure on prices.
