Local cement sales rose 2.4% in the timeframe analyzed, to 2.95 million tons.
The association expects consumption will be low in the third quarter, but, nevertheless, higher than in the same period of 2010, CIROM executive manager Ion Crangasu told MEDIAFAX.
Cement and clinker exports cumulated some 111,000 tons in the interval analyzed, while no deliveries were made in January-June 2010.
Lafarge (France), HeidelbergCement (Germany) and Holcim (Switzerland) are the main cement producers in Romania.
