The government aims to produce 600,000 metric tons of salt in five years with the passage of Republic Act (RA) 11985 or the Philippine Salt Industry Development Act.

To achieve this target, Imelda Calixto, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in-charge for Fisheries Post-Harvest Technology Division, said the government is now doing consultations for the formulation of the law’s implementing rules and regulations (IRR) as well as securing more funding.

Calixto pointed out that the importation of salt has steadily decreased as the country’s production continued to increase.
