en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the tax rate for sand and gravel at the Changsha dock in Hunan, China was adjusted from 3% to 13%, directly driving up the local price of manufactured sand by 5 yuan per ton. The Integrated Media Center of the China Sand and Gravel Association compiled statistics on national sand and gravel aggregate prices for April 2026, with some data sourced from representative enterprises. During that month, the national sand and gravel market remained relatively stable overall, with price fluctuations occurring in a few regions. Among them, sand and gravel price fluctuations were more noticeable in Hunan and Hubei within Central China, while prices in Shanghai and Fujian in East China saw slight increases.

In the Gansu area of the Northwest region, the price of asphalt concrete crushed stone in Lanzhou rose by 1 yuan/ton, while the price of manufactured sand in Wuwei fell by 1 yuan/ton. In the Southwest region, prices remained stable except in the Chongqing area. In Chongqing's Yuxi district, crushed stone prices showed mixed rises and falls, with a fluctuation range of about 1 yuan/ton; manufactured sand prices in Yubei increased by 1 yuan/ton; high-quality manufactured sand prices in Yudong rose by 3 yuan/ton, while some manufactured sand prices simultaneously dropped by 2 yuan/ton. In the Central China region, the price of washed gravel in Wuxue, Hubei decreased by 1 yuan/ton.

In the East China region, sand and gravel prices in the Shanghai area generally rose by 3 yuan/ton, and the price of shaped gravel in Fujian increased by 5 yuan/ton. Price data for regions including North China, South China, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Shandong were concurrently released by the Integrated Media Center of the China Sand and Gravel Association. Some prices are representative prices from relevant enterprises, do not represent local average prices, and are for reference only. Considering the market performance in April 2026, policy lag effects, and supply-demand fundamentals, it is expected that national sand and gravel prices will gradually stabilize in May, with narrowing divergences, characterized mainly by minor fluctuations within a stable overall trend.
