China is the biggest importer of Indian salt with nearly 50 lakh tonnes being shipped there annually
RAJKOT: The killer Covid-19 pandemic, rising freight charges and a slew of restrictions on Indian crew and cargo imposed by China has resulted in a massive decrease of salt exports from India.
China is the biggest importer of Indian salt with nearly 50 lakh tonnes being shipped there annually. However, this has reduced to just 15 lakh tonnes in the period from June 2020 to June 2021 compared to 50 lakh tonnes in the comparative period the year ago, according to data shared by Indian Salt Manufacturers Association (ISMA). This period marks the end of the salt season. This is the second consecutive year that exports to China have fallen. Last year, the export was down because of worldwide lockdowns and the US-China trade war.
