Soma Number: 25% of New Skysrapper Construction in Africa are in Kenya

[Mwanzi1]

I think Mining and gas production require more steel and metal that they require cement, so maybe you should check the steel industry...

Anyway back to cement, you are even predicted to become the largest Cement producer in Africa, big deal to the cement companies and job creation, but you do know that some of those cement companies are Kenyan or Kenyan based which means sometimes they bring back the cement back to Kenya...

Your production is set to increase to be higher than Kenya in the mid term, but when it comes to building, construction and projects, we are talking about Consumption...and when it comes to consupmtion, no one beats us in the region, not tanzania, not ethiopia....


Tanzania Domestic consumption is/was projected to rise to 3.9Million tonnes in 2016/17

Tanzania set to be one of Africa's top cement producers
He said the current production capacity in the country is 3.8 million tonnes per annum, but it is expected to more than double to 8.3 million tonnes per annum in the near future. Domestic consumption is also projected to increase to 3.9 million tonnes per annum from 2.25 mtpa.


While on the other hand, Kenyas production in 2015 was 5.84 million metric tonnes while consumption was 5.23 million metric tonnes

KENYA - Cement consumption up in 2015
Kenya National Bureau of Statistics data show the consumption of cement reached 5.23 million metric tonnes in November, slightly higher than the 5.19 million metric tonnes that was used throughout 2014.
High uptake of cement indicates heightened activity in the construction sector, KNBS said.
The data show construction sector grew by 11.3 per cent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to a growth of 7.6 per cent in a similar period in 2014.

So all your different priorities still don't match up


If you need more proof to swallow

https://www.trademarkea.com/news/kenya-leads-east-africa-in-infrastructure-development/
Kenya led the East African region in infrastructure deals struck in 2015, according to a new survey by financial consultancy firm Deloitte. The African Constructions Trends Report shows that Kenya accounted for 20 of the regions 61 big-ticket projects followed by Ethiopia with 12 projects. The report indicates that growth in shopping malls, commercial office development and the ongoing rail project are the biggest areas with the large construction works. The burgeoning middle class, coupled with the promise of high yields also whet investors’ appetite for retail, entertainment and lifestyle facilities in Kenya and Tanzania, resulting in investment in modern office parks and hotel space.

And that's all you can think off, that gas and mining requires steel than cement. How will they build LNG cooling plant, how will they make terminals in deep sea heavy enough to withstand currents, how will you build port for docking large gas tanker's. How about houses for the staff, roads into the area, how can they make a mine safe or harden up the passage into the mine pit so that huge mining truck and machineries can pass easily all year round. Any clue?

The image below contradict what you posted before. To be honest, it doesn't matter who produce more than the other, every country in East Africa need infrastructure development.

Kenya Cement Production | 2005-2017 | Data | Chart | Calendar | Forecast

For a long time In Tanzania we had a culture of building our houses with the little we had. From financing the project, to planing, to contracting the builders and so on. Unlike Kenya where you have real estate developers who buy land and build several quarters before selling them through bank mortgages. But we're changing too, the number of real estate development in Tanzania is increasing day by day, people are into mortgages nowadays. The consumption of cement in Tanzania will continue to increase because is needed to build, Bagamoyo port, another port in Mtwara, Zanzibar port, refurbish old airports and build new airports as well, build our capital city, iron ore mining, uranium mining, nickel mining more roads and more flyovers more bridges etc. All in the name of development, and guess what, we really need that infrastructure development like there is no tomorrow.
