Itacamba Cemento to import 50,000t of cement in 2015

Bolivia: Itacamba Cemento intends to import 50,000t of cement in 2015 to guarantee supplies in Santa Cruz. Itacamba Cemento will also raise its production by 6% in 2015 to 3.6 million bags.

Cement demand in Bolivia is expected to increase by 8 - 10% in 2015 according to estimates by the local cement industry. However, due to insufficient local production, cement has to be imported. In 2014 the government used Insumos Bolivia to import about 600,000 bags of cement. A similar amount is planned for import in 2015.

Guillermo Schrupp, the president of the Construction Chamber in the Santa Cruz department of Bolivia, Cadecocruz, has said at least two or three more cement plants are needed in the medium to long term in order to meet rising demand until the Rositas hydroelectric dam is completed in 2018.
