Now It’s Cement Turn that Affected by Fuel Price Hike
This is a very literal translation from Indonesia from an article in newspaper. The meaning conveyed here is that the fuel price hike has led to price increase of many products and services, including cement price. Does the title work? or maybe the following is better?
- Now It’s Cement Turn that was Affected by Fuel Price Hike
- Now It’s Cement Price that Affected by Fuel Price Hike
- Now it's cement price that was affected by fuel price hike
or maybe yours better?
