Up to a three week wait, prices up. What gives?-Jitney
Typically -~20% of the cement used in the US is imported from China. China has sharply curtailed their export of cement because they are using it for domestic building projects. Cement kilns are one of the largest pieces of industrial equipment in existence - so it's not easy to build new rotary kilns. I'm sure there are also regulations in the US that deter the construction of new kilns.
