Questions asked about petcoke supplier to INC

Paraguay: Local press is querying why state-owned cement company Industria Nacional del Cemento (INC) has signed a petcoke contract with Sanfil-GT consortium. A delivery of 12,000t of petcoke has been delayed for logistic reasons, according to the ABC newspaper. The consignment is part of a US$6.5m contract to supply 24,000t of petcoke. In 2018 INC awarded a tender to buy US$6m of Turkish-produced clinker from Sanfil-GT Scientific. However, the manufacturer, Cemco Cement Trading, later warned that neither Sanfil SA nor GT Scientific SA were authorised to market the commodity.
