Sanaa imposes ban to import flour, clinker materials

SANAA, Jan. 09 (YPA) – The Sanaa-based Ministry of Economy and Investment imposed a ban to the import of foreign flour and clinker raw materials for the cement industry to the ports of Hodeida.

The ministry said in circulars posted on X that the decision came after locally grown flour has produced by 100 percent and with high quality and competitive prices through five local milling companies, as well as clinker, which is also manufactured by 100% local cement factories.

These circulars came in implementation of the program to localize local industries in Yemen and reduce the import bill, as well as to limit the flooding of markets with competing foreign products and protect local national products, the ministry added.
