Vietnam to import 260,000 tonnes of salt
Vietnam plans to import 260,000 tonnes of salt this year due to falling domestic salt output and value.
Salt marshes nationwide have expanded by 16 percent to nearly 14,500 hectares so far but total salt output has decreased by 5 percent against last year.
As domestic salt demand keeps increasing by 1.3 million tonnes per year, Vietnam is always short of salt.
Vietnam had to import 138,000 tonnes of salt in 2007 and 240,000 tonnes in 2009.
