Created a high demand for cement in cement demand linked to consider looking at a number of factories opened, which created a high production capacity of large-scale expansion works Factories were ongoing. However, cement consumption is expected silks Cement Manufacturers said that the lack of significant market upheaval. << >> Current consumption exceeds supply went to Dr. / Dr. Gemechu, the inconvenience and said that they should take responsibility for the sector actors.
