Export Strategy

Turning surplus capacity into regional supply.

Nigerian limestone, coastal terminals and grinding stations that put cement into neighbouring markets.

2030 Vision
80Mta

An Africa self-sufficient in cement.

Ending West and Central Africa’s dependence on intercontinental imports by producing where the limestone is and grinding where the demand is.
