SALT PRICE DROP

Farmers harvest salts in the village salt shot area of Kedungmalang, Jepara, Central Java, Saturday (19/8). According to local farmers, increasing salt production due to the most popular weather since the last month as well as the government’s policy of importing salt from Australia leads to salt prices in the region falls from Rp3,000 per kg to Rp1,500 per kg.
