Cement works with 65% capacity

According to Mining News Pro - Ali Mohammad Bod pointed to the uncertain market of building construction in the country, saying that price volatility has become a factor in both producers and consumers lagging behind in production and purchasing and are looking forward to market stability.

He said that, in addition to the problem of selling producers in the transportation of products with barriers, said the same issues have been triggered to reduce the volume of production in factories. As production units are currently operating at 65% of their capacity.

The cement expert said: cement consumption in the two months of this month has dropped two percent from the previous month, indicating a decline in demand at the market level.

Bad, saying that the annual production of cement in the country is 60 million tons, said 12 million tons of this figure and 20 million tons of domestic surplus. On this basis, we have no problem in cement production, but the decline in market demand and the uncertainties of construction make it difficult for manufacturing units.

He added: Despite all these problems, the price of cement has not changed in the past months and will not increase.
