The only way to know if a mini cement plant fits your needs is through a feasibility study that evaluates advantages and disadvantages of producing and marketing your own cement on a small scale. However, some of the following situations may be an indication of the viability of such a project:

• High cement prices that allow high profitability.
• Unmet cement demand for reasons such as great magnitude works, reconstructions, etc.
• High shipping costs or non-existent roads: Mini plants can be installed next to the market, thus saving on freights.
• Cement supply or price instability: A mini cement plant can provide to constant and moderate consumers independence of major cement producers.
