TRADERS in Thoothukudi district, which is Tamil Nadu's crown jewel in the salt industry with an average yearly production of 25 lakh tonnes, have sourced 40,000 tonnes of edible salt from Gujarat for the first time in the industry's history due to a significant drop in production this year.

TRADERS in Thoothukudi district, which is Tamil Nadu's crown jewel in the salt industry with an average yearly production of 25 lakh tonnes, have sourced 40,000 tonnes of edible salt from Gujarat for the first time in the industry's history due to a significant drop in production this year. Since there is a 60% fall in production, the quantum of salt brought from Gujarat may go up further.
According to sources, salt production has dipped due to unseasonal rains and multiple weather systems off Thoothukudi coast which led to a drop in adequate sunny days.
