Jamaica Imports Cement to Ease Shortage
Published 2 days, 9 hours ago
Description
Jamaica’s government moves swiftly to tackle a crippling cement shortage by approving five companies to import up to 500,000 tonnes over six months, as demand spikes 9-15% due to construction boom and Hurricane Melissa’s aftermath. Industry leaders applaud the short-term fix but urge long-term solutions to stabilize supply and support local contractors, with hopes that Caribbean Cement can return as the main supplier.
