Production

As of February 2018, Rwanda's cement needs were reported to amount to about 50,000 metric tonnes every month. [1] At that time, the established factories in Rwanda were able to produce enough cement to meet approximately 54 percent of the national cement needs (27 metric tonnes, monthly), leaving 46 percent (23 metric tonnes, every month), to be imported from regional manufactures. [1] Among the regional manufacturers that supply cement to Rwanda are (a) Hima Cement Limited of Uganda (b) Dangote Industries Tanzania (c) Lake Cement Tanzania and (d) Tanga Cement of Tanzania. [1]

As of December 2022, national cement demand had increased to approximately 950,000 tonnes annually, with national annual production estimated at 480,000 tonnes. By August 2023, national output had increased to 600,000 metric tonnes which was about 50 percent national demand at that time. The commissioning of Anjia Cement Limited in August 2023, with planned annual production of 1,000,000 tonnes of is expected bridge that gap. [4]
