the operation of bulk cement in the whole province in May I. Completion of the main indicators of the development and application of bulk cement in the whole province From January to May, the total output of cement in the whole province was 43.9249 million tons, a decrease of 3.8536 million tons compared with the same period last year, a negative increase of 25.98%. The supply of bulk cement totaled 38.0511 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.5992 million tons, a negative increase of 8.65%. In May, cement production reached 10.979 million tons, a decrease of 1.4159 million tons compared with the same period last year. The supply of bulk cement was 9.5702 million tons, a decrease of 1.4015 million tons compared with the same period last year. The bulk rate of cement in the province was 86.63%, an increase of 0.62 percentage points over the same period. From January to May, the use of bulk cement in Wenzhou, Taiwan and Zhouzhou was 8.3404 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 297,500 tons, a negative increase of 3.56%. In May, the use of bulk cement in the three cities was 2 million 109 thousand and 400 tons, a decrease of 66 thousand and 300 tons compared with the same period. In the three cities of Ningbo, Taiwan and Wenzhou, the inventory of bulk cement transit warehouses listed as statistical objects was 248,300 tons, a decrease of 51,600 tons compared with the same period last year, a negative increase of 17.21%. From January to May, the cumulative output of ready-mixed concrete in the province was 10442 0.04 million cubic meters, a decrease of 8.8838 million cubic meters, a negative increase of 7.84%, of which in May, the output of ready-mixed concrete was 25.0065 million cubic meters, a decrease of 2.9908 million cubic meters. From January to May, the total output of ready-mixed mortar in the province was 5.5744 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 169,000 tons, a negative increase of 2.95%, of which in May, the output of ready-mixed mortar was 1.477 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 28,900 tons. 2. Operation analysis (1) Cement production and supply of bulk cement continued to decrease year on year. Main reasons: 1. Weakening of expectations. The weakening of expectations is mainly due to lack of confidence, and entrepreneurs are cautious about future expected investment. 2. Use of ready-mixed concrete and ready-mixed mortar is reduced. As infrastructure investment and real estate investment did not stabilize significantly, the output of ready-mixed concrete and ready-mixed mortar in the province continued to decline, falling by 7.84 and 3.02 percentage points respectively in May, which in turn affected the use of cement and bulk cement. (2) The bulk rate is on the rise. From January to May, the bulk rate of cement in the province increased by 0.62 percentage points compared with the same period last year. Main reasons: First, the decrease of bulk cement was 17.33 percentage points lower than that of cement. Second, the bulk loading rate of Jinhua, Quzhou and other major cement producing areas maintained a steady upward trend. From January to May, the bulk loading rate of the two cities increased by 4.54 and 1.34 percentage points respectively, which promoted the increase of the bulk loading rate of the whole province by 0.73 percentage points.
