Ten years ago, Nepal still imported cement from India.

After the 2015 earthquake, Nepal's demand for cement greatly increased.

By 2019, Nepal was able to produce enough cement on its own and no longer needed to import.

This was mainly because many investments flowed into Nepal's cement industry.

Chinese companies also came to Nepal to invest in building cement factories, bringing many job opportunities and helping local economic development.

Now, Nepal has many cement factories and has even started exporting cement to India.

However, cement factories have also caused some problems, such as air and water pollution, land degradation, and some places experiencing floods and landslides.

Many residents feel that cement factories have made their lives more difficult, and some have organized protests.

Although cement factories bring economic benefits, they also affect the environment and health.
