The production of Ghori Cement Factory in Baghlan province has increased compared to last year.

According to officials, Ghori Cement production was 180,000 tons last year, but this year it will increase to 200,000 tons.

The technical deputy of this factory said that with the increase in production, the demand has also increased.

Sarbaz Banuzai, the technical deputy of Ghori Cement Factory, said: “In total, last year's production was 180,000 tons and this year we plan for 200,000 tons. God willing, our production will exceed this plan."

The technical deputy of this factory added in another part of his speech that the National Development Company plans to establish another new cement production plant alongside this factory, which will have a production capacity of 4,000 tons in 24 hours.

Sarbaz Banuzai said: "Fortunately, the National Development Company has advanced most of the technical works. The dry system device, which will be installed next to the Ghori Cement Factory, will have a daily production of up to 4,000 tons, and its expenses will be covered by the budget of the National Development Company."

Meanwhile, some workers in this factory called for the creation of more production factories to reduce the country's unemployment rate.

"We request the Islamic Emirate to take more actions in the reconstruction of such factories so that our unemployed youth can find jobs," said Malekyar Malikzada, a worker at Ghori Cement Factory.

"Since the Islamic Emirate came, the level of production has increased. Thanks to God, the kilns are operational. If the construction of such factories increases, most of the youth will find jobs," said Sher Mohammad, another worker.

According to information, the first Ghori Cement Factory, with a production capacity of 400 tons of cement per day, started its operation in 1341 (solar calendar) with the cooperation and assembly of specialists from then Czechoslovakia, and since then, its quality cement has had a regional reputation.
