With a production capacity of 48.6 million tonnes annually across ten countries, Dangote Cement Plc is the largest cement producer in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the largest cement producer in Sub-Saharan Africa as a result of these operations.
In West and Central Africa, Dangote Cement is concentrating on a “export to import” strategy. Quality limestone is relatively abundant in Nigeria, particularly in strategic southern areas close to demand centers and export facilities. Lack of limestone has forced some countries in West Africa and Central Africa, particularly coastal states, to import bulk cement or its intermediate product, clinker, typically from outside the African Continent.
It therefore, made Nigeria to serve as the primary export hub for West and Central Africa, hence self-sufficient in cement and clinker. As a result, regional trade within ECOWAS and beyond with the African Continental Free Trade has significantly improved. With over 350 million people, 15 countries could be served by Nigeria.
Dangote Cement started shipping clinkers from Nigeria to West and Central Africa in 2020, following the commissioning of its Apapa and Onne export terminals.
