Anhui Province Pushes Forward Multiple Large-Scale Aggregate Projects – Over 200 Million Tonnes of Capacity Set to Reshape the Yangtze River Delta Market
Why the concentration of mega-scale aggregate projects in Anhui Province signals a fundamental shift in the supply landscape for the Yangtze River Delta region
Anhui Province is emerging as a powerhouse in China's sand and aggregates industry. The province is currently advancing multiple large-scale aggregate production lines with a combined annual capacity exceeding 200 million tonnes. Key projects include the Anhui Jiaokong 60-million-tonne-per-year facility, the CNBM Chizhou 40-million-tonne-per-year project with a total investment of RMB 9.15 billion, and the Anhui Baomei 40-million-tonne-per-year operation. Among these, the Dongzhi Kejiacun project—a massive 60-million-tonne dolomite operation valued at RMB 11.9 billion—is being implemented in two phases. For quarry operators, aggregate producers, and equipment suppliers, this wave of investment represents both a significant market opportunity and a clear signal that the industry is moving toward larger-scale, more capital-intensive operations. At OCP Mechanical Company, with over 40 years of manufacturing experience, we supply a comprehensive range of crushing and screening equipment—including PE Series jaw crushers, HST Series cone crushers, and VSI 6X sand making machines—designed to support large-scale aggregate production, all at factory-direct prices.
Anhui Jiaokong Kejiacun – a 60-million-tonne megaproject now in full operation
The Anhui Jiaokong Kejiacun mine, located in Chizhou, Anhui Province, represents one of the largest aggregate investments in the region. The project has a total investment of RMB 11.9 billion and holds mineral reserves of 1.98 billion tonnes of dolomite and 272 million tonnes of limestone. The mining license was officially issued in December 2024, and the project has already commenced commercial production. The facility includes a complete crushing and screening system, a 12.8-kilometre long-distance belt conveyor, and a dedicated wharf at the Yangtze River with an annual throughput capacity of 40 million tonnes. The 60-million-tonne annual production capacity, along with the integrated logistics system, positions the project to become a key supplier of high-quality aggregates to the Yangtze River Delta market. For equipment suppliers, projects of this scale require reliable, high-capacity crushing and screening equipment that can operate continuously and deliver consistent product quality. OCP Mechanical's complete crushing and screening solutions are engineered for high availability, low maintenance, and consistent output, ensuring that producers can meet the demands of large-scale operations.
CNBM Chizhou – 40 million tonnes with RMB 9.15 billion investment
Another major project in Anhui Province is the CNBM Chizhou 40-million-tonne-per-year aggregate facility. The project represents a total investment of RMB 9.15 billion and is being developed on a site with significant mineral reserves. The project is designed to produce high-quality crushed stone, manufactured sand, and other aggregate products for the construction industry. The facility will include advanced crushing, screening, and washing equipment, along with a dedicated logistics system to transport products to the Yangtze River Delta and other markets. The scale of this investment reflects the confidence of major state-owned enterprises in the long-term demand for aggregates in the region. For operators, the successful development of such large-scale projects requires equipment that delivers consistent performance, low operating costs, and long service life. OCP Mechanical's equipment is engineered to meet these demands, with robust construction, energy-efficient designs, and user-friendly controls that simplify operation and maintenance.
Anhui Baomei – 40 million tonnes adding to the regional capacity
Anhui Baomei is another key player in the province's aggregate sector, with a 40-million-tonne-per-year production capacity. This project adds to the growing concentration of large-scale aggregate production in Anhui, which is rapidly becoming a major supply hub for the Yangtze River Delta and beyond. The combination of these projects—Anhui Jiaokong, CNBM Chizhou, and Anhui Baomei—brings the total annual capacity in the region to over 200 million tonnes. This concentration of production capacity is expected to have a significant impact on the supply-demand balance in the Yangtze River Delta market, which has historically relied on aggregates from multiple sources. For aggregate producers in other regions, this increased supply from Anhui may lead to greater competition and pressure on prices. For equipment suppliers, the concentration of large-scale projects creates opportunities to supply complete crushing and screening systems, as well as aftermarket support and spare parts.
The impact on the Yangtze River Delta market – increased supply and competition
The Yangtze River Delta region, which includes Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, is one of the largest construction markets in China. The region's rapid urbanisation and infrastructure development have driven sustained demand for aggregates. Historically, the region has sourced aggregates from multiple provinces, including Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hubei. The development of large-scale production capacity in Anhui is expected to increase the region's self-sufficiency and potentially reduce the reliance on imports from other provinces. For operators in the Yangtze River Delta, the increased availability of locally sourced aggregates may lead to more stable pricing and reduced transport costs. For aggregate producers in other regions, the increased competition may require adjustments to production and pricing strategies. For equipment suppliers, this trend reinforces the need for high-capacity, efficient crushing and screening equipment that can support large-scale operations.
The role of reliable equipment in large-scale aggregate production
Large-scale aggregate projects require equipment that can operate continuously, deliver consistent product quality, and minimize downtime. The scale of operations at Anhui Jiaokong, CNBM Chizhou, and Anhui Baomei demands robust, high-capacity crushing and screening systems that can handle the throughput and deliver the product specifications required for construction projects. At OCP Mechanical, our comprehensive range of crushing and screening equipment is engineered for large-scale operations, with features such as heavy-duty construction, high-efficiency drive systems, and user-friendly controls. Our PE Series jaw crushers, HST Series cone crushers, and VSI 6X sand making machines are designed to deliver consistent performance, low operating costs, and long service life, enabling producers to meet the demands of large-scale aggregate production. All product specifications, including capacity and power ratings, are continuously updated; for the latest parameters, please consult our online customer service.
