Salt farmers nationwide have been caught in such a difficult situation that many have left their fields idle even as peak production season looms, local reports say.
They say that this season has been characterised by low productivity, low prices and large stockpiles of low quality salt that is difficult to consume.
The country produced 136,706 tonnes of salt in the first three months of the year, just 47 per cent of the output of the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
