Mid East cement consumption: 128 million tons mid east cement production: 122 million tons needed for import: 6 million tons per year. don't take my word for it, it's per the dubai chamber of commerce: <A HREF="http://www.tradearabia.com/tanews/newsdetails_snCONS_article112614.html" target="_blank">http://www.tradearabia.com/tanews/newsdetails_snCONS_article112614.html</A> so when petar told airys that he knows sulja can sell 100 million tons of cement in a year to the mid east, what he means is he can sell them 17 times more cement than the entire mid east actually needs in a year!
