Turkey plans to invest $150 million to $200 million in a large cement production facility in Afghanistan's Jawzjan province. Turkey's consul general in northern Afghanistan, Murat Dikman, made the announcement during a meeting with Maulawi Abdullah Sarhadi, the governor of Jowzjan province. Diekmann said the cement plant project will create hundreds of jobs in the province, highlighting Turkey's extensive development cooperation in the region.
The project is in line with the overall effort to strengthen the domestic cement industry in Afghanistan, where several plants are already under construction or planned, including the Yateem Taq cement project in Jawzjan province and other projects in Baghlan and Kandahar provinces. Although capacity and timeline details have not been disclosed, the investment reflects the continued interest of Turkish companies and officials in participating in the Afghan building materials industry. The
cement industry in Afghanistan is gradually developing, with multiple projects underway to reduce dependence on imports and support reconstruction and public works across the country. Turkish companies have previously signed agreements of similar scale and scope aimed at upgrading local production capacity and supporting infrastructure development.
