And that's all you can think off, that gas and mining requires steel than cement. How will they build LNG cooling plant, how will they make terminals in deep sea heavy enough to withstand currents, how will you build port for docking large gas tanker's. How about houses for the staff, roads into the area, how can they make a mine safe or harden up the passage into the mine pit so that huge mining truck and machineries can pass easily all year round. Any clue?
The image below contradict what you posted before. To be honest, it doesn't matter who produce more than the other, every country in East Africa need infrastructure development.

For a long time In Tanzania we had a culture of building our houses with the little we had. From financing the project, to planing, to contracting the builders and so on. Unlike Kenya where you have real estate developers who buy land and build several quarters before selling them through bank mortgages. But we're changing too, the number of real estate development in Tanzania is increasing day by day, people are into mortgages nowadays. The consumption of cement in Tanzania will continue to increase because is needed to build, Bagamoyo port, another port in Mtwara, Zanzibar port, refurbish old airports and build new airports as well, build our capital city, iron ore mining, uranium mining, nickel mining more roads and more flyovers more bridges etc. All in the name of development, and guess what, we really need that infrastructure development like there is no tomorrow.
