Investment opportunity: Cement manufacturing plant

Summary: The government of Namibia is looking for investors to build a cement manufacturing plant, which when complete would also have an export market in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) where the demand of cement is high. Various geological studies have found limestone, clay and gypsum deposits in several parts of the country, for instance in Karibib, Otjiwarongo and Mariental.

Project cost: Estimated US$41 472 000

Sector: Continued growth in Namibia's construction industry has increased the demand for building materials. Total annual demand is estimated at 350 000 tonnes and is growing at an annual average rate of 10%.
