The price of yellow sand for construction is generally between RMB 0/00-120 per ton. However, the price of river sand varies according to the supply and demand of regions and markets. In some places, the price of river sand may reach per ton 133 yuan, and even in some places, the price may be above 200 yuan per cubic meter.

The main reason for this price difference is that the source, composition and use of river sand and yellow sand are different. Yellow sand is generally formed by natural weathering of riverbed, which contains certain timely and unweathered rock components, and has high requirements for particle size, particle uniformity and particle composition. River sand, on the other hand, is dug directly from the river, with more impurities and relatively coarse particles.
