Afghanistan: The National Development Company said construction of the third phase of the Ghori cement plant in Baghlan province has reached 10% completion, and is progressing ‘rapidly’, according to TOLO News. The company said the project will increase production capacity from 700t/day to 5700t/day once completed.
Afghanistan currently has five additional cement projects under development, which aim to improve self-sufficiency. Domestic production only meets around 5% of demand and more than 90% of cement is imported from Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
