Sand
Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. The construction industry is the largest consumer of sand globally. Sand plays a crucial role in various construction materials due to its physical properties and ability to enhance the performance of building components. Sand is typically extracted from natural sources through different methods, depending on the location and type of deposit. River sand is naturally occurring sand found in riverbeds or banks.
Construction Materials
One of the most widely used construction materials, concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates (such as sand and gravel), water, and additives. The Middle East has experienced a construction boom in recent years, driven by urbanization, population growth, and ambitious development plans. Construction sand, typically sourced from rivers, quarries, or coastal areas, is a fundamental component of concrete, mortar, and other construction materials. Clay is a primary ingredient in the production of bricks and blocks.
Sand trade in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's economic landscape presents both unique challenges and opportunities, shaped by its monetary policy, banking system, trade practices, and the realities of its financial sector. The country’s economy has faced significant difficulties over the past two decades, including hyperinflation, which led to the abandonment of its currency in 2009. Since then, Zimbabwe has adopted multiple foreign currencies, primarily the U. S. dollar and the South African rand. Recently, the government reintroduced the Zimbabwean dollar (ZWL) alongside these foreign currencies.
