A local online trading company – Dumbulo Shopping Solutions – has started selling cement online in Ethiopia. The online shopping platform www.dumbulo.com will provide sales for customers in and around Addis Ababa to avoid the hassles in buying cement. Customers can shop cement online and it would be a great help for people who are buying cement from the local market.
The company has started working with cement producers and major cement distributors authorized by the Federal government to supply cement in the country and has entered into an agreement with National Cement one of the leading cement manufacturers that has a central cement warehouse in Addis Ababa. Discussions are underway with other cement manufacturers and the Chemical and Construction Inputs
Development Institute on ways of streamlining the traditional erratic cement market.
Customers can order for cement and get it delivered at their construction site. The Ministry of Trade and Industry has imposed a price cap on cement at 360 birr for a quintal of cement. However, the online price of the cement being supplied by the company is priced at 345 birr. The online marketing platform was established by four IT experts and management consultants three years ago.
