Retail cement prices have retreated in the past month after hitting a high of between Sh800 and Sh1,000 per 50-kg bag in March on improved supply from factories whose clinker shortage has eased.

The cost of cement, alongside that of other building materials, had shot up significantly in the first quarter of this year, saddling developers with higher costs which saw some pause projects due to budget overruns.

Traders said the price of a bag of cement is now retailing at between Sh650 and Sh680, with some traders offering the product for as low as Sh630.
