About Diamond
Diamond Cement has been produced in the Volta Region since 2002 and sits in the mid-price band — cheaper than Ghacem, around the level of Dangote. It is a solid, mainstream option without the market leader's premium, and a reasonable default for a budget-conscious build where the grade meets the spec. As with every brand, the bag price moves month to month with the cedi, so price it close to your pour.

How much is Diamond cement in Ghana today?

Diamond is a Volta Region producer since 2002, sitting in the mid-price band. For a given grade the compressive strength is standardised, so Diamond's 42.5R is structurally equivalent to any other brand's 42.5R; brands differ mainly on bagging consistency and setting behaviour.Why does the Diamond price change?
Because cement tracks the cedi. Diamond is produced at Aflao in the Volta Region, and clinker and gypsum — cement's main inputs — are dollar-priced imports, so a weaker cedi lifts the bag price within weeks. Manufacturers' own price notices routinely cite the exchange rate as the reason.How many bags of Diamond for a 3-bedroom house?
A standard 150-square-metre three-bedroom shell takes on the order of 450 to 550 bags of any brand, Diamond included. At ₵105 a bag that is a substantial line item, which is why the brand choice matters. The build calculator on the main build page estimates it for your size.What grade is Diamond cement?
Diamond Cement is 50kg. The grade — not the brand — determines structural strength, so match it to the job: 42.5R for load-bearing structure, a lower grade for blockwork and plaster.
