Recently, in the Shan State of Myanmar, even if you have money, you can't necessarily buy cement!

Myanmar, the production of cement at the KBZ brand cement plant in Taunggyi City has fallen and prices have soared since May due to insufficient power supply. Some construction companies can't buy enough cement, so they have to stop work. Wu Wenteng, head

of KBZ Cement Plant, said that it was not that we wanted to raise the price, but that we lacked electricity and could not produce so much cement. At present, the ex-factory price of a bag of cement is 6100 kyats (equivalent to about 30 yuan), but not including freight, customers need to pick up the goods at Huobang Factory. When normal supply can be resumed depends on the power supply situation. I heard that the normal power supply will be restored in mid-June. A member of the public

in Dongzhi said that a friend from Mengxiu's side asked me to help buy cement. I went to the market to buy it, but I couldn't buy it. Even some big shops couldn't buy it, saying that it would only be available in June. Although there are also imported cement from Thailand, but the price is relatively high, compared with the local KBZ brand cement, the price difference between each bag is 2000-3000 kyats. Without electricity, all walks of life are more difficult.

It is understood that most of the cement used by the people and construction sites in Dongzhi City is local KBZ brand cement, and another brand of Dragon brand cement has not been sold recently, so everyone can only buy KBZ brand cement. Diamond, Apache, Double Rhinoceros and other brands imported from Thailand are relatively expensive, and most people will not buy them. A worker

in Taunggyi said that if the price of cement exceeds 6,000 kyats, we can't afford it. We built a temple building, but we couldn't buy cement, so we had to stop work temporarily. Previously, the KBZ cement plant was able to produce 20,000 bags of cement per day, but since the beginning of May, there has been a shortage of electricity, and they can only produce 12000 bags per day, unable to provide enough supply to their agents.
