This is the list of companies that manufacture cement in Uganda. [1] [2]
As of March 2018 [update], Uganda cement manufacturers had installed capacity of 6,800,000 tonnes of cement annually, [8] with Tororo Cement Limited being responsible for 3.0 million tonnes (44 percent) and Hima Cement Limited producing 1.9 million tonnes (28 percent). [2] Simba Cement Uganda Limited* produces 1 million tonnes annually (15 percent). [2] [6] The remaining companies are responsible for the remaining 900,000 tonnes (13 percent).
In January 2018, Uganda's consumption was estimated at 2.4 million tonnes annually; [8] 35.3 percent of total annual production, although that percentage is on the rise, given the multitude of major, ongoing infrastructure projects in the county. [2] [9] The remaining output that is not consumed locally is marketed to regional neighboring countries, including Rwanda, Kenya, South Sudan and eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. [9]
