Nigeria to raise tariff on cement imports

20 March 2013

Nigeria: Minister of Trade and Investment, Olusegun Aganga, has announced plans to create a new tariff on imported bulk cement. The move follows the alleged cement 'glut' surrounding a dispute between importer Ibeto Cement and leading producer Dangote Cement in late 2012. The current duty on imported bulk cement is 10% but no levy is imposed on the commodity.

At a meeting on Nigerian business competitiveness organised by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), Aganga said that there was no basis for importing cement clinker since Nigeria has a cement production capacity of 28.6Mt/yr. He also stated that at no time did he issue any import permit for bulk cement in 2012.

Indocement cuts cement exports to meet domestic demand

20 March 2013

Indonesia: PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa reportedly reduced its exports by 84.5% in 2012 in order to meet rising domestic demand for cement in Indonesia, according to a company spokesman.

The state-run company cut its exports to 0.1Mt in 2012 from 0.6Mt in 2011, and witnessed a rise of 12.3% in its domestic sales, which reached 17.9Mt in 2012. In 2011 the company sold 15.4Mt of cement at home.

In 2012 the company's cement brand, Tiga Roda, accounted for a major part of its market share with sales of the branded cement rising by 32%. In 2011 the company's brand covered 31.5% of Indocement's entire market share.

The positive performance in the company's cement sales in 2012 was due to Indocement's strategic expansion plans that involved building new cement plants in the country. In addition, the cement producer has signed an initial agreement on equipment provision services, construction and implementation with the Chinese Sinoma Group.
