Venezuela: Representatives from the Sintuecav union have urged the government to invest in the cement industry. The union said that if no money is provided then Venezolana de Cementos might not be able to continue operations past June 2016, according to El Informador. Sintuecav added that cement production has more than halved since the country nationalised its cement industry in 2008. Before nationalisation Venezolana de Cementos exported clinker from its Pertigalete cement plant. From January to September 2014 it imported 120,000t of clinker from Peru and Spain.
