Cement also was produced at two plants in Puerto Rico. Overall production was the lowest since 1982 and reflected continued plant closures and indefinite idlings. Although therate of decline abated significantly, sales volumes in 2010 were the lowest in 27 years and were nearly 59 million tons or 45% below the record level of 2005.

The overall value of sales was about$6.5 billion. Most of the cement was used to make concrete, worth at least $35 billion.
