The Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce (MIIC) in Jamaica is taking steps to stabilize the cement supply following disruptions caused by heavy rainfall at Caribbean Cement Company Limited (CCCL). Interim measures are in place while CCCL works to restore production. A vessel carrying cement has been diverted to Jamaica, with additional deliveries scheduled. The ministry, led by Senator Aubyn Hill, has also approved an additional import quota to meet demand, particularly in western Jamaica. The goal is to maintain cement supply stability, especially with construction being a key factor for economic growth. The ministry is monitoring the situation and collaborating with industry partners to ensure market efficiency. CCCL is working to resolve constraints and return production to projected levels.
