Afghanistan: The Jabalo Saraj cement plant will reopen in early 2017 according to the ministry of mines and petroleum. A spokesman for the ministry said that the plant is being rebuilt to local media, reported by BBC Monitoring.

The Jabalo Saraj cement plant closed in 1996. The ministry of mines and petroleum has allocated US$1.5m for the reconstruction effort using local engineers.

At present only the Ghori cement plant is operational in the country. According to the ministry it produces up to 420,000t/yr and it only meets 6% of the country's demand.
