The growing demand for cement and concrete is largely driven by rapid urbanization and large-scale infrastructure projects. To meet this demand, new cement plant projects and modernization investments are underway to enhance production capacity. One notable development is the Lemi National Cement Factory, inaugurated in September 2024, which has added 15,000 tonnes per day to the national supply, aiming to stabilize prices and reduce shortages.
