Benin: Producers Blame 'Indelicate' Traders for Cement Price Surge

The Association of Cement Producers of Benin (APCB) condemns the rise in cement prices, which now range from 100,000 to 120,000 FCFA per ton, while factory prices remain unchanged. Producers attribute this surge to speculative practices by distributors, urging compliance with regulatory prices. This situation affects households and construction projects, as demand for materials remains high.
