阿联酋水泥订单不断
5月底,迪拜的水泥价格已翻倍,周边地区水泥每袋价格要25迪拉姆,经过阿联酋承建商和当地水泥生产商协商后,水泥价格已降到11-17迪拉姆每袋。
有报道说,上星期巴基斯坦仍接到迪拜地区的水泥订单,因为巴基斯坦的水泥价格更低。分析人员说,出口到阿联酋的水泥,巴基斯坦水泥公司每吨要赚50美金。
Attock、D G Khan和Lucky是出口水泥到这些阿拉伯国家的三家公司。有关人士说,这些公司出口质量差的小房屋建筑水泥到这些国家。“我们没有出口高标号水泥到迪拜 ”,公司人员说。但是分析人员警告说,对水泥进口的日益增长,迪拜的价格标准处和相关市场会有所行动,这将影响到巴基斯坦水泥公司出口前景。
阿富汗也是个大市场:一位官方人员说,前几个月,阿富汗水泥生产线的生产能力只有80%-85%,但为满足阿富汗、卡塔尔、阿联酋等地水泥需求增长的需要,明年可能会提高到90%-95%。
同时由于伊朗、中国等地国内水泥需求增长,与之竞争的伊朗、中国水泥公司无法顾及阿富汗,巴基斯坦水泥公司已持有阿富汗重建公司的大部分股票。

Cement orders from UAE continue despite falling prices
By Arshad Hussain
KARACHI: Despite this week’s decline in cement prices in the Dubai market, Pakistani cement manufacturers say they continue to get import enquiries from companies in the UAE and Qatar.
“Our cement consignments are going to UAE regularly and there is a demand of 2,000 tons per week,” said a source at Attock Cement. Demand for Pakistani cement would not decline despite falling prices in that region, he added.
At the end of May, cement prices had doubled in Dubai and its adjoining areas to 25 dirhams per bag but retreated to 11 dirhams to 17 dirhams per bag on Wednesday following a settlement reached by the UAE Contractors Association with local cement manufacturers to cut prices.
Daily Times had reported last week that Pakistani cement companies had been receiving export orders from the Dubai region on account of lower prices here. Analysts had said local companies will earn a profit of $50 per ton by exporting to the Dubai region where a construction boom has lead to high demand for cement.
Attock, D G Khan and Lucky Cement are the three companies which have received enquiries from these Arab states. An industry source said the companies are exporting lower quality cement which is used in the construction of small houses and buildings.
“We are not exporting high quality cement for high rise buildings in Dubai,” said a source at one of the companies. But sector analysts cautioned that price normalization in Dubai and its related markets could deal a blow to the prospects of Pakistani cement companies aiming to boost exports.
Afghanistan a big market: An industry official said cement plants, which are working on 80 percent to 85 percent capacity for the last few months, are likely to increase production capacity to 90 percent to 95 percent in the next fiscal year to meet demand from Afghanistan, Qatar and the UAE.
Pakistani cement companies have captured a large share of Afghanistan’s reconstruction business since competing cement suppliers from Iran and China have been sidelined due to high internal demand in both countries, a result of construction booms there.
