Caribbean Cement Company Limited is reporting that its operations have remained buoyant despite the decision by the Government last year to extend the reduction in the tariff on imported cement. Caribbean Cement’s General Manager Anthony Haynes says, among other things, the demand for locally produced cement has remained strong. Following a major shortage of cement last year followed by public outcry and warnings of a major decline in the construction industry, the Government
hastily removed the import tariff on cement.
