According to China Cement Network Market Data Center, some major manufacturers in Jinhua, Quzhou and other areas of Zhejiang Province continued to push up the price of all kinds of cement by 15 yuan/ton since November 2.
Earlier, on September 15, some major manufacturers in Zhejiang began to notify Jinhua, Quzhou, Lishui and other places to raise the price of all kinds of cement by 15 yuan per ton. Since October 15, some major manufacturers in Zhejiang Province have once again tried to promote the price of all kinds of cement in Jinhua, Quzhou and Lishui at 20 yuan/ton.
"The price of cement has been basically implemented in the first two times." Sales director of a large cement enterprise in Quzhou, Zhejiang, said that this year's market demand is not as good as in previous years, and most of the time only one production line is opened. "If only the production capacity in the province is counted, in fact, it is still in short supply, but there are many impacts on cement outside." The person in charge said.
Generally speaking, the weather in Zhejiang area is mostly fine recently, the construction progress of some construction sites is accelerated, the market demand has improved compared with the previous period, coupled with the increase of coal prices, the promotion of Jinliqu area in September and October is basically in place.
