Indonesia builds salt center to cut imports by 2027

The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is building a community-based salt center in Pamekasan District. The project aims to reduce Indonesia’s reliance on imported salt by 2027. The center will support local salt farmers with better infrastructure and processing facilities. This move aligns with the government’s push for food sovereignty and self-sufficiency. Officials say the initiative will boost domestic production and stabilize salt prices.
