Minister of Economic Development and Trade Mohamed Saeed announced that the Business Centre Corporation (BCC) has been assigned to conduct feasibility studies on the viability of table salt production and processing in the Maldives. The government aims to start domestic salt production within its five-year term and is in discussions with UNDP to secure financial assistance for the studies.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
We have to do everything possible to reap the best benefits of our vast ocean resources
For the tourism industry, we import very high-quality salt. For local use, too, we are importing types of salt, all of which we want to start production in the Maldives.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
In a press briefing last Saturday, Minister Saeed unveiled that the Business Centre Corporation (BCC), a division under the economic ministry, has been assigned to conduct feasibility studies to assess the viability of salt production and processing in the Maldives.
