Production
[edit]As of March 2018[update], Uganda cement manufacturers had installed capacity of 6,800,000 tonnes of cement annually,[8] with Tororo Cement Limited being responsible for 3.0 million tonnes (44 percent) and Hima Cement Limited producing 1.9 million tonnes (28 percent).[2] Simba Cement Uganda Limited* produces 1 million tonnes annually (15 percent).[2][6] The remaining companies are responsible for the remaining 900,000 tonnes (13 percent).
In January 2018, Uganda's consumption was estimated at 2.4 million tonnes annually;[8] 35.3 percent of total annual production, although that percentage is on the rise, given the multitude of major, ongoing infrastructure projects in the county.[2][9] The remaining output that is not consumed locally is marketed to regional neighboring countries, including Rwanda, Kenya, South Sudan and eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.[9]
- Note: Simba Cement Uganda Limited, is a wholly owned subsidiary of National Cement Company Limited of Kenya.
