Background

The Ghori site in Pol-e Khomri was originally developed for cement production in 1959 by the Afghan Government. The first plant on the site, Ghori I, was commission in the early 1960s and built by the Czech construction company Prerovske Strojirny. It has a total production capacity of approximately 150,000 tonnes of cement per year using the two original wet process kilns.

Along with its sister Ghori II plant, the Ghori I plant was privatized in 2006. Cement production remains limited by shortages of electricity and vehicles, and the old technology.
