Erm, no. Not unless you plan for transport of 5000 - 7000 tons per day for plant lifetime, which would be 70-100 years.

That's why all the plants here (and all over the world) are beside a great big limestone quarry.

Some clays and other materials that are not in such demand can be transported to the site alright.
then plz explain why there are huge cement factories on veng sreng road, the road south of the airport, no quarry within miles

Are you not talking about cement factories that make cement into concrete.

Those are concrete batching plants for the building sector. They mix sand, gravel, mortar mix and cement powder in various ratios.

A cement plant is to produce cement powder from raw materials.

If you had been there earlier, you would probably have seen many trucks also arriving there with bags of cement .

But lots of cement is carried in bulk containers, maybe they bag it there also.

They have distribution hubs up there, and at least two of the big 5 producers have bulk loads of bags being taken by rail to their PP stockyards, so probably yes.

Also, one of them is building a grinding plant up there to mill cement from imported clinker. It's centralized, so makes sense.

New cement factory for Kampong Speu:

New 2Mta plant planned for Cambodia

19 March 2021
Cambodia’s Conch KT Cement (Phnom Penh) plans to build a US$263m cement factory in Aoral, Kampong Speu province, with a 2Mta capacity, according to the Phnom Penh Post.

Conch KT Cement is a joint venture between China’s Conch International Holding (HK) Ltd and Battambang KT Cement. The joint venture currently operates another 2Mta facility in Ratanak Mondol district, which started up in 2018.

Conch KT Cement’s feasibility study on the project is reportedly almost complete, as the company is preparing the necessary documents to apply for the relevant permits and formal government approval.

New Asphalt Concrete Mixing Factory Planned to be Built in Battambang Province
AKP Phnom Penh, January 27, 2022 --
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport has planned to build a new asphalt concrete (AC) mixing factory in response to the demand for infrastructure construction.

The new factory is announced after the construction of the country’s first AC mixing factory in Kampot province has been completed.

Speaking at the ministry’s annual meeting held here on Thursday, H.E. Sun Chanthol, Senior Minister and Minister of Public Works and Transport said that the establishment of the new AC mixing plant is aimed to contribute to the improvement of a road from DBST to AC, which lasts longer.

“This year, we hope to get another factory. We plan to establish the factory in Battambang province to reply to road construction work, such as Road 57, Road 58, Road 68, from DBST to AC road,” he said.

H.E. Sun Chanthol hoped that the AC mixing factory will help make road construction progress easier, faster, and more cost-effective.

Kampong Speu Province to Have a New Cement Factory
AKP Phnom Penh, June 17, 2023 --
Kampong Speu province, some 40 kilometres from Phnom Penh capital city, will have a new cement factory, said Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE.

Speaking at a get-together with about 18,000 factory workers in Kampong Speu this morning, Samdech Techo HE underlined that the province has seen much development and now ranks second in the country in attracting investment in garment sector.

“In the near future, Kampong Speu will have a new cement factory with an annual capacity production of 2 million tonnes,” he said.

According to the Premier, Cambodia can produce a total of around 9 million tonnes of cement a year, but it could not meet the local demand as the construction sector is booming.

Cambodia currently has five cement factories, including Kampot Cement, Cambodia Cement Chakrey Ting, Chip Mong Insee, Battambang Conch Cement, and Thai Bun Rong.
