Uganda: A 6000t/day cement plant will officially be opened in the northeast of Uganda in the week beginning 27 April 2026, according to Ecofin Agency. Authorities say that the US$300m investment will reduce the country’s reliance on imports, currently estimated at over 2.5Mt/yr at a cost of US$154m in 2024.
In the medium term, increased local production will reportedly stabilise prices and improve access to cement. It is also expected to support job creation and stimulate local economic activity in largely underdeveloped areas.
