The clinker plant was expected to help the cement company increase production in the region in response to the growing demand for cement to support construction activities.
Nearby to Maros, in the area of the Maros Regency to the north of Makassar, are Pettakere cave and other prehistoric caves that contain significant rock art. Research suggests that the rock art is of considerable archaeological significance.
