Kafrican not until 2018 as we speak installed capacity is more than that of Kenya! In 2018 we will double ur capacity mind u 2 more new cement factories r U/C in the Western Tanzania. And Dangote is planning 2 more factories in this same Tanzania.

I have already provided a quote up there that comes from the same source and by 2018 tz projected capacity will be 9.4 million tonns p.a so acha kujifanya zuzu Na kuzunguka zunguka,
 
Kenya currently consumes approx 3mln tonnes p.a while Tz consumes approx 2mln.


This is futher proven by the fact that Kenya leads in real estate construction and also Kenya leads east Africa in mega infrastructure projects that tend to use lots of cement




Kenya leads the East African region in terms of mega construction projects. The country has 20 ongoing large projects followed by Ethiopia at 12.

East Africa holds 20 per cent of all construction projects in Africa and 15 per cent in dollar value at $57.5 billion (Sh 5.8 trillion) in 2015, which is a slight fall from $60.7 billion (Sh6.2 trillion) in 2014.

The projection of 8.1 mln tonnes was that of Kenya! Most of cement used for ur railways come from China! As a matter of fact road construction in Tanzania are way more than in Kenya!
 
Cement ya ziada inauzwa nje. EAC SADAC etc ndio maendeleo/uchumi hu
o. Sio unalima mpunga wa kula mwenyewe tu.

Your facts are cooked...improper at best.
The cenemt used in the sgr project is 100% kenyan supplied. It was one of the terms of the contract aimed at promoting Kenyan companies.
Anything that can be localy sourced and found are being provided by local suppliers.
 
Lakini wadau........ nina wazo. Could it be possible Tz_dians have surpassed us coz most of their constructions involve a lot of cement. They basically don't use coral stones like Mombasans nor stones like Nairobians but what they use is sand with cement to produce blocks for building. In this way,it'll lead to a higher consumption which leads to higher demand which leads to higher production..... my two cents....

Cement supply exceeds demand by half
ONLINE REPORTER
15 November 2016


COUNTRY’S installed cement production has crossed 8.0 million tonnes per year surpassing aggregate demand by half, the Minister for Industries, Trade and Investment said.

Minister Charles Mwijage said today that the country is currently cement sustainable and two more factories are expected to be constructed in the western zone. “We will export the excess capacity thus earning more foreign revenue,” Mr Mwijage said at a morning breakfast programme aired by Clouds FM.

The figure suggests that Tanzania’s installed cement capacity has surpassed that of Kenya which was projected to produce 8.1 million tonnes per annum by 2018.

This is according to analysts at the Standard Investment Bank (SIB), who made the projection in an East Africa Cement Sector report released in January 2016.

It comes even as cement consumption across East Africa is estimated to reach 17.5 million tonnes in 2019 due to a sustained boom in the construction and real estate sector. In 2014, consumption in the East African countries of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda is estimated to have stood at 10.16 million tonnes.

Wrong output, I don't think you read the report. It states that Tanzania currently has a higher installed capacity (8.8mtpa) but still produces less (5.3mtpa) as Tanzania uses a lot less of its installed capacity for actual production. By 2018 Tanzania's installed capacity will be 9.4mtpa but production will be 6.7mtpa.

Compared to Kenya which in 2016 stands at 8.1mtpa installed capacity with 6.3mtpa actual production and is projected to reach 8.1mtpa installed capacity on 2018 and 7.1mtpa production.

Kenyan cement manufacturers are simply making better use of their installed capacity.
 
Tanzania Says It May Draw $9.2 Billion in Cement Investment

  • Three potential producers could double national output
  • State plans to develop new port, railway, crude pipeline
Three companies plan to invest as much as 20 trillion shillings ($9.2 billion) in Tanzanian cement production in projects that could double the nation’s installed capacity, Trade and Industry Minister Charles Mwijage said.

The government of East Africa’s second-biggest economy, with gross domestic product of $45 billion, has infrastructure projects planned, including the $10 billion Bagamoyo port development, a $7-billion railway and a $4-billion crude oil pipeline from neighboring Uganda that will require cement.

“There are big projects which are attracting people to put cement industries here,” Mwijage said Tuesday by phone from Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital. He declined to identify the potential investors or give their timelines. “I have people now at different stages of implementing their construction, others are at application, others have secured the land, others are on financing.”

Units of HeidelbergCement AG of Germany, Jona, Switzerland-based LafargeHolcim Ltd and Afrisam Investment Holdings Ltd. of South Africa already operate in the country and have installed annual capacity of 10.3 million metric tons. Production in Tanzania is about 7.1 million tons a year, while local consumption is 4.1 million tons, according to Mwijage. The surplus is exported to neighboring countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Demand for cement is expected to grow as much as 8 percent a year in the “medium-term,” London-based Exotix Partners said in an October research note. Last month, Lake Cement Ltd., a closely held Tanzanian producer, announced plans to almost quadruple capacity to 1.9 million tons by building a new plant at Bagamoyo at a cost of $150 million, according to Standard Investment Bank, the Nairobi-based lender.
Dangote Cement Plc, owned by billionaire Nigerian investor Aliko Dangote, last year commissioned a 3-million ton plant in Tanzania’s southeastern region of Mtwara. The plant stopped production last week on some technical issues that have now been fixed, spokesman Carl Franklin said in e-mailed comments.

When Dangote began production in Tanzania in February, it undercut competitors such as Tanzania Portland Cement Co. and Tanga Cement Co. by selling at about $80 per ton, compared to a national average of about $90-$100 per ton, according to Exotix.

“We expect aggressive cost management strategies from all players to protect the bottom line,” Exotix said in its note.

Dar wins 3 new cement investors

TANZANIA will soon see her cement production capacity surging to over 17 million tonnes, thanks to three new companies that have requested to invest in the country’s cement sector.

The three companies plan to inject up to 20tri/- in production of cement in the next few years. Launching the Industrial Exhibitions at the Mwalimu Nyerere Trade Fair (DITF) grounds along Kilwa Road in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the Industry, Trade and Investment Minister, Mr Charles Mwijage, named the new entrants in the cement sector as EAM, Mamba and Sungura companies.

He said EAM Company has asked to have its three million tonnes cement plant in Tanga Region. “But the investors say they are capable of producing up to seven million tonnes should the government agree on their two conditions,” said the minister.

“Their first condition is for the government to allow them to export their product ... my ministry has nodded to this condition,” revealed the minister, noting, however, that he cannot reveal the second condition, which he said, “I have forwarded to my boss, the president.”

The minister was optimistic that the government was serious in establishing an industrial economy, the reason it invites more investors in the country. Mr Mwijage further said that Mamba and Sungura companies have also expressed interest to invest in the country, hinting that negotiations between the government and the two prospective investors were on progress.

Other players already in the country’s cement sector are Twiga, Simba, Tembo, Nyati and Carmel whose combined production capacity stands at 10.3 million tonnes, implying that the current manufacturers, which are not producing to their installed capacities, if combined with EAM’s capacity of seven million tonnes, will reach over 17 million tonnes.

Mtwara-based Dangote Cement Company is another investor whose operations have been recently halted over alleged technical hitches. With three million tonnes, Dangote, according to the minister, has the highest production capacity in the country.

There are still uncertainties surrounding the Dangote Cement company over its current decision to suspend operations, with sources hinting that the investor was in a dispute with the government over operational costs.

However, the government has repeatedly insisted that it was not in conflict whatsoever with the Mtwara based cement manufacturer. Mr Mwijage said yesterday that the country has installed capacity of producing 10.3 million tonnes of cement, with only seven million tonnes capacity being utilised.

The country’s highest cement demand, according to the minister, is 10.3 million tonnes.
