The Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) has taken up a project to enhance local salt production so that the country becomes self-reliant in meeting its demand for the seasoning.
Salt farming in Bangladesh has reached the highest level this year since commercial production began in the country six decades ago thanks to favourable weather conditions.
While salt production has been growing steadily over the years, the farmers in the coastal districts of Chattogram and Cox’s Bazar are apprehensive over whether their meagre profits would get any better.
