Strengthen supply-side structural reform through innovation and promote the transformation and upgrading of the sand and gravel aggregate industry. 6 Moon 28 day -29 Day, with “ Pioneering, innovation, collaboration, and win-win. ” The national innovation conference for the sand and gravel aggregate industry, themed around [topic], was held in Chongqing.

　　The sand and gravel aggregate industry is a foundational sector for the construction of national technological infrastructure, closely linked to people's daily lives. It is an indispensable and massively consumed raw material in China’s construction projects, and also the mineral product with the largest extraction and consumption volume in China’s mining industry. According to information provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources: As of... 2014 This year, the total number of sand and gravel enterprises in our country that have obtained mining permits is... 13300 Multiple , Among them, large and medium-sized sand and gravel enterprises account for the total number. 34% (Annual output 30 Over 10,000 tons), the annual production and sales volume of sand and gravel have reached 200 Hundred million tons, accounting for the world’s 50% The rational exploitation of sand and gravel is closely linked to the comprehensive utilization of natural resources and environmental protection. The quality of sand and gravel directly affects the construction quality of various infrastructure projects. Recently... 10 In recent years, with the rapid development of China’s real estate industry and infrastructure construction, the demand for sand and gravel aggregates in China has grown rapidly. The sand and gravel aggregate industry has made significant progress and achieved remarkable results in areas such as technological advancement, industrial transformation and upgrading, energy conservation and emission reduction, and green and harmonious development.

　　In his congratulatory message, Jiang Minglin, a counselor of the State Council and former deputy director of the Office of the State Council Counselors, pointed out that the issuance of a series of policies—including the State Council’s “Guiding Opinions on Promoting Stable Growth, Structural Adjustment, and Enhanced Efficiency in the Building Materials Industry” and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “Action Plan for Green Building Materials Production and Application”—has charted a clear course for the future development of the sand and gravel aggregate industry. These policies will undoubtedly drive technological advancement, optimization and upgrading, environmental protection, and circular utilization within the industry. Through this innovation conference, a powerful impetus will be generated toward building an industry characterized by enterprises as the main body, market orientation, and innovation-driven forces, thereby accelerating the enhancement of technical levels and the industrialization process in the sand and gravel aggregate sector. Ultimately, the sand and gravel aggregate industry will evolve into a modernized sector featuring highly integrated, automated, large-scale, environmentally friendly operations encompassing ore mining, processing, storage, and transportation, as well as waste recycling and reuse.

　　Hu Youyi, President of the China Aggregate Association, delivered a keynote speech titled “Transformation and Innovative Development of the Aggregate Industry under the New Normal and Supply-Side Reform.” He argued that by... 2020 In the coming years, China and India will be the decisive driving forces behind economic growth in emerging economies, while the United States and EU countries will be the decisive driving forces behind economic growth in developed countries. While moderately expanding total demand, our country will focus in the coming years on strengthening supply-side structural reform, enhancing the quality and efficiency of the supply system, bolstering the momentum for sustained economic growth, and promoting an overall leap forward in our nation’s social productivity.

　　Hu Youyi stated that our country... “ 13th Five-Year Plan ” The urbanization process still requires demand-driven growth, and in the coming years, investment in infrastructure projects alone will exceed... 4.7 Trillions of yuan—there is huge market demand for sand and gravel aggregates. The sand and gravel aggregate industry and its enterprises must seize this opportunity. “ The Belt and Road ” Strategic opportunities lie in achieving transformation across various aspects—including business models, management approaches, production methods, product quality, and environmental protection measures—while promoting cross-sector integration in areas such as aggregate products, equipment, environmental protection, and the application of the internet. “ Two Integrations ” Continuously enhance innovation capabilities in areas such as integration, establish new models for the development of the sand and gravel aggregate industry and its industrial chain, and accelerate the industrialization process of the sand and gravel sector.

　　During the conference, participants discussed topics including stone quarry mixed-loading blasting technology, optimized design of manufactured sand and gravel aggregate production lines, operational strategies for large-scale green sand and gravel mines, green casting technologies for wear-resistant components in mining machinery and equipment, and the Internet. + Specialized presentations and exchanges were held on hot topics of common concern in the industry, including the application of recycled aggregates in new building materials, domestic and international methods for evaluating the particle shape of coarse aggregates, a study on the value of off-road mining dump trucks in sand and gravel mines, and technologies for controlling dust from unorganized particulate emissions.

　　Leaders from national and local relevant authorities, industry experts, heads of related associations and research institutes, representatives from member units of the China Sand and Gravel Association, and representatives from upstream and downstream enterprises—altogether... 200 Others attended the meeting.
