Ivory Coast to import 150,000t of cement

26 April 2017

Ivory Coast: The government has decided to import 150,000t of cement from April to July 2017 to cope with a local shortage. Cement will be imported in a strict agenda including 61,000t in May 2017, 64,000t in June 2017 and 25,000t in July 2017, according to the La Afrique Tribune newspaper.

26 April 2017

Ireland: CRH’s sales in Asia dropped by 12% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2017. The building materials producer blamed the fall on a slow start to the year in the Philippines due to poor weather, high competition and low prices. No exact figures were provided in the company’s April 2017 trading update.

Overall, across all business lines, the group’s sales rose by 3% on a like-for-like basis. It reported that in the Americas sales were ‘in line’ with the prior year. In Europe sales rose by 6% due to stabilising markets with rises in cement sale volumes noted in Poland, Finland and France. Cement volumes were reported as ‘marginally behind’ in the UK.
