Moldova: Rybnitsky Cement plans to challenge the Ukrainian government’s tariffs on building materials from Russia, Belarus and Moldova. The producer recently started exporting cement to Ukraine, according to the Infotag News Agency. About 20% of its export sales go to Ukraine. A 94% duty on goods originating from Moldova has been imposed following an anti-dumping investigation by the Ukrainian interdepartmental commission for international trade. In 2018 the Rybnitsky Cement plant produced about 0.4Mt of cement.
Moldova: The Rybnitsky Cement plant has significantly cut its production costs due to a cheap gas deal. According to Radio Chișinău and the Infotag News Agency, the cement producer is paying four times less for its gas than its local competitor, the LafargeHolcim-owned Rezinsky Cement plant. In 2018 the Moldovan government held off renewing a supply contract with Russia’s Gazprom to see if cheaper options were available elsewhere.
