Dangote Cement has ruled out establishing a new manufacturing plant in Kenya in the medium term due to challenges in securing suitable limestone reserves.

• Kenya is currently excluded from Dangote Cement's business plan targeting 80 million tonnes of production.
• The decision was announced by Chief Executive Officer Arvind Pathak during the company's Capital Markets Day in London on September 21.
• Dangote Cement's East African expansion will instead focus on Ethiopia, while also upgrading its plant in Tanzania.
