Actually, the sand referred to in this video is volcanic pumice. It is used to make cement, which is a major export from Java to surrounding Indonesian and Southeast Asian markets. I spent some time there in 2019 before the pandemic. Note that the Indonesian government prohibits large scale mineral mining with earth moving shovels and equipment in order to preserve the manual labor the local population depends on for subsistence. This is also true for volcanic sulfur extraction.

This wastes an unnecessary amount of these workers' time by being inefficient, due to not using any heavy machinery at all. A single excavator could fill dozens of trucks in a day instead of just two, and only needs one operator. Automation frees up so much time that can be better spent doing other things. This hurts to see.
