Sales volumes also picked up in Kalimantan and Sulawesi, rising by 21% and 16%, respectively. However, sales of cement fell in Maluku, Papua and Nusa Tenggara.

Cement producer Semen Indonesia experienced a 4.5% rise in sales in the first five months of the year. Total sales, including the company’s subsidiaries, reached 10.5 million t.

Domestic cement consumption in Indonesia is forecast to increase by 6% in 2014 to an estimated 63 million t.
