Cement production at Caribbean Cement in Jamaica has been disrupted due to heavy rainfall, affecting operations at one of the region’s key manufacturing facilities. The weather conditions have slowed output and created challenges for maintaining consistent supply.

Officials say the rainfall has impacted quarrying and production processes, making it difficult to access raw materials and operate equipment efficiently. As a result, there have been delays in production and distribution.

The disruption could affect construction activity, as cement is a critical material for building projects. Contractors and developers may face delays if supply shortages continue in the short term.

Industry representatives say efforts are underway to stabilise production once weather conditions improve. However, the situation highlights the vulnerability of key industries to extreme weather events in the Caribbean.
