Tanzania: The State Mining Corporation (Stamico) has assured cement producers that it holds sufficient coal supplies. It said that 18,600t/month of coal is being produced every month at its mine at Kabuko in Songwe, according to the Citizen newspaper. It intends to increase production to 45,000t/month when demand is ‘high’ and then to later raise production to 60,000t/month when it fixes infrastructure bottlenecks.

In August 2018 cement producers reported that they faced coal shortages. Subsequently, cement prices rose.
