EghtesadOnline: Iran’s cement industry is operating at half capacity, the deputy head of Cement Employers Association said.

EghtesadOnline: The Iranian cement industry’s fall from grace has turned into a continuous freefall.

EghtesadOnline: Booms and busts are inevitable in every sector. Most industries cannot imagine the fall when they are flying or envision prospering when they are down.

EghtesadOnline: The Iranian cement industry is in hot waters. It has recently been hit with the double whammy of loss of export markets and lack of domestic demand, causing producers to cut down on production and limit expansion projects.
