Afghanistan: Ghori Cement says that it has produced 18,600t of cement in January 2020, up by 400% from 3720t in January 2019. This would give the plant an annual production rate of 0.22Mt/yr, following ‘operational reforms and modernisation of spare parts.’ Arab News has reported that plans for the replacement of Ghori Cement’s Ghori, Pul-e-Khumri, cement plant with a new 0.4Mt/yr plant were interrupted by on-going civil strife in the region, north of the Afghan capital Kabul. Ghori cement plant general manager Riazudin Sharifi said, “Efforts are underway to further improve the capacity of the plant.”
