Getting the lowest priced cement in Kenya is one of the key factors that can lower the overall cost of a building project and so here is an indication of the current price of the key brands available in the market today.
The price of a 50kg bag of normal cement in Kenya has in recent years seen a downward trend as new entrants have elbowed themselves into the market snatching market share from the more dominant players. In Kenya there are several brands produced by various companies, some that are well known and others that are relatively new.

As competition has stiffened, there have been casualties. Athi River Mining is one such company that has shut its doors and is being taken over by one of its competitors and East Africa Portland Cement Company has been plagued with performance difficulties that have seen it loose market share and drop from being the second largest manufacturer.

From a review of the cement market you can see from the price that the product has been more or less commoditised with price tramping brand differentiation. Much like motor vehicle pump prices or sugar prices where customers go for the lowest price before looking at brand.
A survey of various hardware stores reveals that the main brands on the shelves are Fundi, Simba, Nyumba and Savannah. The price range is entirely based on a willing buyer willing seller so if you find yourself paying closer to the 600 price you are not getting a bargain especially if you are buying several bags
