Dangote Cement has suspended operations at its plant in Mtwara in Tanzania in the unfolding dispute over a ban on coal imports that producers want lifted.
Manufacturers say the ban has increased the cost of cement production but after two weeks of meetings with sector executives, the government has instead proposed talks on lowering the price of natural gas for the grinders.
