The Yemeni Establishment for Cement Industry and Marketing is seeking to increase its production through investment via self- financing in modernization and development of the existing factories and calling on  the private sector for investment in them. Among plans are for capacity of  Amran cement plant to reach 600,000tpa and the establishment of a new production line with a capacity of 1.2Mta starting from the year 2006. With this the factory’s total production capacity would  be increased to 1.6Mt. It’s hoped with improvements, that the production capacity of Bajil cement factory will reach 1.1Mt. It  is also expected that the project could be implemented by beginning of 2007.
