The government of Angola has decided to maintain the cement import ban in 2016 in 15 provinces, claiming that the installed capacity in the country far exceeds domestic needs, according to Angolan state news agency Angop.

This decision does not apply, however, to the border provinces of Cabinda, Cunene and Kuando Kubango, which will continue to have an annual quota of 150,000t.
