Industry Overview
I ndia is the third largest Salt producing Country in the
World after China and USA with Global annual production
being about 230 million tonnes. In a short period of time
sufficiency was achieved and made a dent in the export
market. The per-capita consumption of salt in the country is
estimated at about 12 kg, which includes edible as well as
industrial salt. The current annual requirement of salt in the
country is estimated to be 80 lakhs tones for industrial use.
Caustic soda, soda ash, chlorine etc., are the major salt-
based industries. Besides about 20 lakhs tones of salt are
exported every year.
Private sector plays a dominant role contributing over 95%
of the salt production, while the public sector contributes
about 2-3%. The co-operative sector contributes about 8%
whereas the small-scale sector (less than 10 acres) accounts
for nearly 40% of the total salt production in the country.
The worldwide salt production is currently 200 million tons
and exceeding the mark rapidly. The worldwide industries
manufacture this huge quantity of salt not only for
consumption but for non-edible and industrial purpose as
well.
Almost sixty percentage of salt production in the whole
world goes to the industrial usage. Only the remaining forty
percent is used for miscellaneous purposes that major
constitutes the application in the form of food additives.
