Cement packaging at Cimerwa's factory in Rusizi, Rwanda. The construction sector is facing a cement deficit. File
Rwanda’s construction sector is set for good times with the anticipated reduction in the prices of cement early next year, when Cimerwa Ltd increases its production capacity six fold.
The country is currently facing a huge cement deficit, which has resulted in firms importing the commodity from neighbouring countries. The upgrade by Cimerwa Ltd — the country’s largest integrated cement manufacturer — will result in the construction sector not needing to import cement.
