Myanmar: A vessel carrying 3000t of cement has arrived at Mottama Port, following the government's decision in January 2025 to permit cement imports in an effort to meet domestic demand for cement.

The shipment arrived on 21 February 2025 via the Kawthaung Border Trade Station to be distributed. Additional cement shipments will arrive weekly to address the domestic shortage, according to NP News. Myanmar's cement demand is reportedly 10Mt/yr, while domestic production is below 8Mt/yr.
