Project: Cement manufacturing plant

Location: Moatize city

Summary:  Set on 42 200 metre squares, the proposed cement plant will use imported clinker. The process will involve grinding of the clinker and the use of pozzolan and plaster. When at full capacity, production is expected to reach 290 000 tonnes of cement per year. The cement will be for use locally. The project site is close to a 1 500 megawatts power station.

Investment cost: US$ 17 637 000

Sector: Mozambique has a shortage of cement, which is negatively affecting the growing construction industry. Cement supply meets 80% of the demand in the south provinces, 70% in the central and 60% in the north.
