According to Granma news daily, the country consumed in 2007 more than 103,000 tons of ground gypsum in the cement industry and almost 16,000 of them were imported at a cost that surpassed 500,000 dollars.
The process of investment also includes a mine in central Ciego de Avila province, which distributes gypsum to cement plants in the eastern region of the island.
