Its actually 381/= at bank rates of 103 to the dollar. And that's ex-factory in Ethiopia. factor in transport costs, distributor & retailer margins, duties, levies and VAT and that easily comes to about 600/=

So why does our cement cost so much, local prices I assume have no duty and transport costs from Ethiopia included.

Is it the case of super profits like the banks
