Ivory Coast: Cement prices have risen sharply following a housing boom, congestion in transport links and renovation work at the port in Abidjan. The Association of Cement Producers of Cote d'Ivoire (APCCI) has also blamed a lack of vehicles due to competition with the coffee and cocoa markets, according to Financial Afrik. The association has called for haulers and dealers to exercise ‘restraint’ when setting prices. The country has a cement production capacity of 4.15Mt/yr according to the APCCI. The local market is currently estimated to be 3.6Mt/yr.
