Contrary to what happens elsewhere in the country, the price of cement in Sofala is stabilized, and the average price is 250 meticais,against the previous 450 meticais per 50 kilo bag. As one of the impacts that, the center of the country is virtually flooded with domestically produced cement,which favors the construction sector.

He explained that the investor chose Mozambique, in the midst of many countries,testifiying to the fact that the residents of the provincial capital of Sofala are honest,disciplined and humble,so the invvalue this option for Mozambique in general and the city border, in particular.
