Argentina: Cement maker Loma Negra, controlled by Brazil's Grupo Camargo Correa, will invest USD404m in Argentina between 2012 and 2014, President Cristina Fernandez has announced.

Camargo Correa officials met with the Argentine president Fernandez and presented an investment plan that includes a new cement plant. "They told me about investments... for USD404m with a cement plant that will allow them to produce 900,000t more," Fernandez, who is seeking re-election in October 2011, said in a speech.

The investments, aimed at increasing output, also include a coal stockpile yard, said Ricardo Lima, vice president of operations at Camargo Correa. Loma Negra has nine cement plants and six concrete plants.
