PH imports 93% salt needs – Agri group

AN agricultural group on Friday said that the country imports 93 percent of its salt requirements of 550,000 metric tons from China and Australia with the "dead local salt industry."

In a radio interview, Philippine Chamber of Agriculture and Food Inc. (Pcafi) President Danilo Fausto said that while there is no shortage, he stressed that the salt supply is being sourced outside.
