Recently, there has been a serious shortage of sand and gravel in multiple regions such as Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Guangxi, and Guizhou. Since 2019, the price of sand and gravel in China has been increasing. However, due to various policy conditions, the price of sand and gravel has continued to soar, accompanied by a shortage of supply and demand. Under the huge profits of sand and stone materials, there are often situations of excessive excavation, illegal theft, and black and evil forces in certain areas of sand and stone.
Once again, there was a situation where cash could not buy sand and gravel, as early as 18 years ago, there was a situation where money could not buy sand and gravel. However, recently, due to the severe shortage of supply and demand in the sand and gravel market, the price of sand and gravel has significantly increased, seriously affecting key projects and livelihood projects. The person in charge of a commercial concrete enterprise in Guangxi said, "Due to the soaring prices of sand and gravel, most of them are now mountain sand
At the same time, due to the newly introduced environmental protection policies, various regions have gradually closed down and renovated sand and gravel enterprises, and eliminated outdated technologies. This has led to many commercial concrete enterprises being forced to close down, as the closure of most of them has made the supply and demand of sand and gravel more tense. So it caused a situation where even cash couldn't buy sand and gravel!
According to the data, since 2017, the number of sand and stone enterprises in China has decreased to more than 17000, and will continue to decrease in 2018. Until now, sand and stone farms in Luonan County, Shaanxi, Zhashui County, Zhouzhi County, Weinan, Zhashui County and other regions have been cancelled and closed down by about 90%, resulting in a very tight supply of sand and stone in this region.
The shortage of sand and gravel supply and demand not only has a serious impact on ordinary projects, but even key projects such as the Huaihe River Bridge in Xixian County have been forced to stop. Last year, some imported sand and gravel from overseas could barely survive, but now many unscrupulous merchants mix sea sand and imported sand and gravel into the market, resulting in the inability to guarantee the quality of the project! Based on the current situation of sand and gravel, it is likely that there will be no price reduction in the second half of the year.
The prices of sand and gravel in China are generally high, and the enthusiasm for infrastructure construction remains unabated. The imbalance between supply and demand of sand and gravel seriously affects the progress of key projects in some regions, leading to engineering disputes.
