President Joko Widodo of Indonesia is pushing for the country to become less reliant on salt imports by 2024 through the acceleration of domestic salting activities. This push is backed by Presidential Regulation No. 126/022, which aims to meet national salt demand through domestic production. The regulation also focuses on the development of national salt for various industries such as food, pharmaceutical, and chemical. Local salt farmers welcome this initiative, believing they can meet most industrial needs with the current quality of salt, although there are concerns about meeting pharmaceutical standards and the need for technology and standardization in production.
