Dangote Cement’s New Ivory Coast Plant Will Produce 3 Million Tons Per Year

Africa’s biggest cement producer plans to open a new plant in Ivory Coast to capitalize on a construction boom in one of the continent’s fastest-growing economies.

The three-million-metric-ton-per-year plant, which will boost the Dangote Cement Plc’s total capacity to 55 million metric tons, is nearly complete and set to begin production this year, a company spokesman said.
