Written by Peter Edwards Editor, Global Cement Magazine
21 February 2022

Over the past 12 years I have written many country reports for Global Cement Magazine, often googling the locations of cement plants, checking distances or otherwise snooping about.

It also affects the cement industry, as we shall come to see.
