According to the agreement, the contracted company will invest $163 million in constructing the plant, which will have a daily production capacity of 3,000 tons of cement. Ministry of Mines and Petroleum officials stated that the contract, which allows the Turkish company to explore, extract, produce cement, and deliver social services, has a 30-year term.
