On 23rd March 2018 CemNet Newsroom reported that a cement shortage had lead to retail price hikes in Banjul, Gambia. Apparently both Gacem and Salam Cement  expressed their surprise at the retail prices.

Whitehopleman thinks that cement customers will not have to worry about high prices for very long. Salam Cement have ordered a cement grinding mill from Cemtec and there is a significant and growing surplus of cement in neighbouring Senegal.
