AUTHORITIES are working to expedite the reopening of cement factories in Kyaukse, Mandalay Region, to meet the growing demand in the domestic market, according to U Kaung Myat Naing, administrator of Kyaukse District.

The cement factories in the Kyaukse area, partially destroyed by the Mandalay earthquake, are under repair and restoration. One factory expects to supply the cement to markets in mid-May, with 100,000 cement bags per day.

“There are high-producing cement factories (Alpha, Double Rhinos, Sinmin) in Kyaukse Township. Double Rhinos Cement Factory aims to produce 100,000 bags per day starting from 15 May. They are trying to return to work to meet the demand for cement in reconstruction activities,” U Kaung Myat Naing said.

The daily production of cement by domestic factories will help meet market demand.
