Lime Industry

Investment Incentives - Access to Land and Materials

In the lime industry, scarcity of raw materials is a major difficulty. The government has banned coral mining within 300 metres of the coast. In some areas, the authorities have given permission to dig for corals on the highlands. Corals cost Rs. 400-500 per ton. Due to the raw materials problem in this industry, some producers use waste clay from ceramics factories, which results in poor quality lime. Limestone can be purchased from miners at a cost of Rs. 480 for one cartload (one kiln requires about 7 cartloads). One producer uses shells dug from the ground as raw materials, which cost him Rs. 6,000 for a lorry load. This is sufficient for about six months of production.
