Fujairah's quarry industry set for major expansion

FUJAIRAH, November 24, 2014

The quarry products industry in Fujairah, UAE, is set to grow from the expected 100 million tonnes next year to 145 million tonnes by 2019, according to a report.

The emirate is at the centre of UAE’s quarry product expansion, with the country being the world’s third largest exporter of quarry products, said the Gulf Base report.

The UAE is expected to add about 20 million tonnes annually from 2015 to 2019, it said.

Several import agreements has led Fujairah to fully develop the logistics and infrastructure necessary to manage large scale operations adding to the strength of the emirates as rational choice as a prospective import partner, said the report.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia will require large-scale import agreements in order to meet the demands of their domestic construction projects and even as demand grows in the GCC, it added.
