Cement producers in Ghana have raised concerns over rising raw material costs. The Cement Manufacturers Association of Ghana has petitioned the government for a review. They say new Free on Board (FOB) values were introduced without proper consultation. Key materials like clinker and furnace slag have seen sharp cost increases. The association argues these hikes do not match global market trends.
Higher costs could lead to increased cement prices across the country. This may negatively affect construction, housing, and infrastructure sectors. Industry leaders are calling for urgent dialogue to find a fair solution.
