  • Indonesia Experiencing Salt Crisis

    Indonesia Experiencing Salt Crisis

    Indonesia is experiencing a salt crisis. This is very strange because Indonesia has easy access to the sun, sea, and coastlines more than most countries in the world. In fact, we know, that just by evaporating seawater that depends on the three components, salt can be made.

    The signs of a salt crisis have been seen from long ago. For example, since Eid al-Fitr, the price of salt has almost never dropped again as usual. The price actually continues to soar and has now increased four times. Or, just look at the signs of national needs and production of salt.

    Indonesia needs 4.3 million tons of salt per-year, including the industrial salt with sodium chloride (NaCl) content of above 97 percent or consumption salt with its NaCl content below it. A total of 1.8 million tons of which are supplied domestically, mostly for consumption salts that are now scarce.

    Since the beginning of the year, supply from the domestic fields has been dragged. In the salt fields owned by PT Garam in Sumenep, for example, the salt production in May-June was only 50 tons, while it can usually reach 2,500 tons.

  • Indonesia to reach self sufficiency in salt supply

    Indonesia to reach self sufficiency in salt supply

    The government is optimistic the country would be self sufficient in salt supply in 2017, an official said here on Wednesday.

    Agung Kuswandono, the Deputy II in Coordination of Natural Resources and Service at the office of the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs said self sufficiency in salt supply is expected to be reached in 2017.

    Agung said the Marine and Fisheries Ministry has taken various steps to improve the quality of the farmers salt to meet the standards for household consumption and industries.

    He said the country needs around 4.02 million tons of salt including 2.05 million tons of industrial salt and 1.97 million tons of consumption salt.

    The domestic production is around 3.8 million tons a year including 3.1 million tons of farmers salt and 700,000 tons produced by the state -owned salt company PT Garam.

    Based on data from the Indonesian Association of Salt Consuming Industries (AIPGI), in 2015 , the country needs 400,000 tons of salt to preserve fishes a year.

    The process of fish salting generally does not use iodine although iodine is important for human health, Agung said.

    Indonesia imports salt especially from Australia to cover the deficit in domestic supply

  • Central Java to build high quality salt factory

    Central Java to build high quality salt factory

    The Central Java administration plans to build factories to produce high quality salt to improve the welfare of the local salt farmers.

    “Currently five pilot projects of salt factory are being prepared,” Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo said here on Tuesday.

    Ganjar said factories to produce high quality salt need to be built immediately in Central Java as the province is a potential producer of salt especially its northern coastal areas.

    Unfortunately the quality of farmers salt in that area is relatively low that the price is also low, he said.

    The provincial administration has discussed the plan with a number of relevant experts, the governor said.

    “There has been talk on the possibility of producing high quality salt,” he said.

    He said so far the price of farmers salt in northern coastal area of Central Java has been very low at around Rp350 per kilogram.

    With the factories the quality of salt would be improved and the price could rise to an ideal level of Rp650 per kg, he said.

    Deputy chairman of the regional legislative assembly Yudi Sancoyo asked the regional administration to address the condition of the salt farmers in the region.

    “It is feared that the price of farmers salt would drop in this years grand harvest. Instead of gaining from the grand harvest the farmers would likely suffer losses,” he said.
