In line with government policy on cutting cement exports, Taiwan Cement plans to reduce its local cement output from 8.4 million tonnes in 2013 to 7 million tonnes in 2014.

The cement price in China's Guangdong Province will be increased by the same amount per tonne from $50.38 (CNY 310) between 17 August and 31 August 2014.
