Argentina: Cement suppliers in Mendoza province in Argentina have started bringing cement from Chile due to a continued and deepening cement supply crisis. Those that have already been granted permission from the Argentine tax agency to do so are already importing 50kg sacks from the country.
Cement shortages in Mendoza have worsened in recent months. Holcim recently told the local branch of Argentina's construction sector chamber that it was going to be able to resume its normal level of production shortly, after one of its mills was due to be repaired. However, this has reportedly not yet been completed.
