The Ministry of Trade, Commerce, Food Security and Cooperative Development states that the ministry will look into a reported decline in salt production within the country.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson from the ministry confirmed that salt production companies had submitted reports indicating a 40% drop in output over the past two years, citing adverse weather conditions as the primary cause.<\/p>\n
In response to the alarming figures, the ministry assured that immediate steps would be taken to investigate the issue and implement necessary measures to address the shortfall.<\/p>\n
It was reported that the decline has already impacted the availability of salt locally.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, the salt production companies have requested the government approval for importing salt to mitigate the shortage. The companies have formally communicated their appeal to the ministry.<\/p>\n
However, the Ministry of Trade stated that a final decision on salt imports will be made based on a proper evaluation of the existing salt reserves in the country and analyzing consumption demands.<\/p>\n
Despite the ongoing discussions, the Ministry of Trade has clarified that no decision has been taken yet regarding the importation of salt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
