Jamaica: Caribbean Cement Company (CCCL) says cement availability has improved significantly in recent weeks, with supply increasing by more than 20% after heavy rainfall in April 2026 disrupted operations. In a statement on 3 June 2026, managing director Jorge Martinez said the company has been taking steps to stabilise supply and meet strong demand across the local market.
Martinez said “Between April and May 2026, CCCL increased production by more than 50% and customer despatches by over 23%, driving record sales of about 110,757t and surpassing the previous high of 108,500t set in March 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
“To support local demand, we also leveraged our Cemex network to import up to 23,852t of cement at the end of May 2026, with additional shipments to reinforce supply and maintain market stability,” he added.
The company said it has introduced several strategic initiatives to improve operational efficiency, such as expanding warehouse capacity and adding equipment to increase production output.
