CCCL's cement sales will not recover until 2010

摘要

Jamaica: Even before it had been reported that Jamaica's construction activity had slid by 11 percent in the Q4 2008-2009 alone, cement sales were apparently already pointing to a market in decline. According to a press release, Caribbean Cement Company Limited (CCCL) does not expect a turnaround in sales for another year or more, but says it will not derail the Kingston plant's expansion, which is to be finalised mid-2009. Kiln five was completed in July 2008 and commissioned in phases ending October 2008, and the cement company immediately turned to the part of the project -the mill - on which construction is ongoing.
