The head of the Sand and Gravel Association of Khorasan Razavi stated that the abundance of sand and gravel production units in Mashhad, coupled with a decline in demand due to reduced construction activities, has caused production units to operate at minimal capacity. If all units were to operate at full capacity, the production would be several times greater than the market's consumption.
