Last month it produced 101.200 tons of cement, by 46.9% less than in the same period of 2015. In cement plants of the warehouses accumulated up to 61.400 tons by 1 February. The enterprises of the warehouses have over 10.3 million tons of masonry materials (cement and artificial blocks and bricks.) This is approximately by nine times greater, than was produced in January. The gypsum manufacturing decreased by (-22.6%), lime – by (-31%), bricks – by (-28.8%), a concrete solution by (-52.9%).
