It would depend on how big the bag of cement is. 1 foot bags will be more in the cubic meter than 2 feet.
The amount of 50 kilogram bags that will fit into a 40 foot container is dependent upon the size of the bags. 50 kilogram bags of gold will be much smaller than 50 kilogram bags of feathers.
Perhaps this Guide to Green Coffee Bags will help you.
Usually 1 cubic foot. It can be sold in smaller bags, but when someone refers to the ratio of cement in a concrete mix (i.e. a "5 bag mix") then they mean 1 cubic foot.

is it 1120 bags x 50 kg= 56,000 kg's
one cubic meter of concrete equals 30 bags(approximately) The exact answer is 28.8 bags of 50kg cement bags. Typical Portland Cement has a density of 94 lbs/cubic foot, which translates to 1505 kg / cubic meter. So, divide 1505 kg by the weight of a "bag" of cement in kg. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems to be perhaps a little confusion here between concrete and cement. Cement is the powder we mix with aggregate to make concrete. Cement varies in density as much as 100%, i.e. it can double in density. From the above URL one 94lb bag is taken to be 1 cu ft for building purposes. 1 cu metre = 35.3146667 cu ft and therefore 1 cu meter of CEMENT is that many 94lb (42kg) bags. Hence the answer for how many Cement bags in 1 cu m = 35.3 94lb bags. It would make more sense if the query was directed towards finding how many bags of cement are required for 1 cu meter of CONCRETE. This depends, of course, on the chosen concrete mix. They vary widely. A most common mix is 1:2:3 - 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, three parts aggregate all by volume. In concrete making the dry ingredients shrink during the process as they compact together. It is found necessary to commence with 1.6 cu m of dry material to finish with 1 cu meter of concrete. 1.6 cu m = 56.5034 cu ft of which the cement portion should be 1/6 for a 1:2:3 mix. 56.5034/6 = 9.4172 cu ft and therefore 9.4172 1 cu ft, 94lb or 42kg bags are required or round about 20 of the usual household DIY worker's 20kg bags here in Australia. Hence the answer for how many bags of cement to make 1 cu m of (1:2:3) concrete is 20 20kg bags. These answers are not precise because of the nature of cement. Refer again to the Portland Cement Association website and their remarks on density.
3 cement bricks for foot
You will need a minimum of 2.42 cubic yards of cement.
volume for 20 foot container
A U.S. bag (or sack) of cement contains 94 lbs. Note this is for cement not premixed concrete where you just add water. The origin of 94 lbs/sack for cement comes from 1 cubic foot of loosly bagged cement weighs approximately 94 lbs; they were originally (and perhaps still) measured out by volume, but for weight calculations, the weight of 94 lbs became standardized.
