Caracas, Venezuela – The Venezuelan cement industry has demonstrated robust recovery adn expansion, registering a meaningful 14% growth in national production during the first semester of 2025 compared to the same period in the previous year. This surge underscores the nation’s commitment to industrial reactivation and productive sovereignty, driven by strategic public-private partnerships and a revitalized construction sector.
A Foundation for National Development
The notable growth in cement output is a direct result of modernized production facilities, a concerted effort to foster strategic alliances with private sector entities, and a renewed impetus for both public and private construction projects across the nation. This expansion is not merely an economic indicator but a tangible depiction of Venezuela’s drive towards self-sufficiency and development.
“The growth of cement production reflects the new industrial dynamism that Venezuela is experiencing,” stated Alex Saab, Minister of Industries and National Production. “Each sack of cement produced is another step towards productive development, the construction of homes, schools, hospitals, and works that benefit the people.”
Sustained Growth and Economic Impact

The reactivation of the industrial sector is creating valuable employment opportunities, stimulating economic activity, and actively contributing to import substitution, thereby strengthening Venezuela’s productive sovereignty.
