Zambia: Dangote Industries Limited says it will continue to penetrate the Zambian cement industry and is targeting 1Mt of sales by the end of 2017. This follows record sales of 0.3Mt of cement during the first six months of 2017.
Country CEO Desmond Maharaj said that Dangote would look to spread its influence in more Zambian provinces going forward. He added that export markets such as Malawi, Democratic Republic of Congo and the great lakes region were also attractive, hence leading to the company to produce more cement from its Zambian operations.
