Dangote Cement Plans to Double Cameroon Capacity to 3 Million Tons by 2028

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dangote Cement Cameroon plans to double its production capacity in Cameroon by 2028 to meet the growing demand from infrastructure projects and the construction industry. The company aims to increase annual output from the current 1.5 million tons to 3 million tons.

According to Dangote Cement's quarterly report, sales in Cameroon fell by 16% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, to approximately 300,000 tons. To boost capacity, the company is upgrading its plant in Douala, which currently has a designed annual capacity of 1.5 million tons. The Dangote Group recently signed a $1 billion agreement with China's Sinoma Engineering to build new plants and upgrade existing facilities in seven African countries, including Cameroon.

Additionally, the company has revived plans to build a second cement plant (also with a designed annual capacity of 1.5 million tons) in the capital, Yaoundé, a plan that had been shelved for years. According to local media reports, the new plant's location may no longer be limited to the originally planned Nomayos area but could be moved to an industrial development zone in the capital. Further details on the specific site selection and project implementation timeline have not yet been disclosed.
