The supply of cement into Jamaica will be significantly increased. A statement from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce says Mainland Cement and ARC Systems will be receiving 44,800t of imported cement.
An additional 57,000t is expected to be received by ARC Systems and Buy House Limited before the end of the month.
