Fiji Industries Limited has confirmed shipment of cement is expected to arrive later today which may ease the short supply of cement in the country.

Fijian Holdings Limited Chief Executive Sereana Qoro said the cement company is bringing in two shipments of cement, one today and another next Tuesday totaling 2060 tonnes for customers.

FIL is hopeful that cement supply will normalise by next week.

Fiji Industries has run out of good quality clinker to mill at this time and the next clinker shipment does not arrive until next Thursday.

The milling will commence as materials are discharged.

According to Qoro, because the company can only sell cement that meets stipulated international quality standards they have decided to wait.

None of the hardware companies in the country have supply of cement.
