Salt market and industry’s outstanding place
For a time in the 80s of the 20th century, there appeared a situation of demand excee-ding supply on China’s salt market and particularly the edible salt and industrial salt were in short supply, thus unfavorably affecting the social stability. In the terminal 80s, the salt industry developed rapidly, following the implementation of the principle of simultaneously developing the salt and soda-making industries. The salt market reached a supply-demand balance in 1990. Afterwards, however, large numbers of key salt industrial projects were put into production and a great many township-owned saltworks emerged. As a result, the crude salt production grew so fast that the output became more than sufficient to meet the demand and there appeared a sustained situation of the output surpassing the sale and the supply exceeding the demand on China’s salt market. In 1997, of China’s 33 provinces (regions, and municipalities) 24 (including Taiwan Province) were salt-producing, and only 9 were salt-poor or non-salt-producing provinces (regions and municipalities) whose salt demands were supplied and fully guaranteed by the salt-rich provinces. China’s domestic salt production is not only sufficient to satisfy the country’s demand fully but also has a lot to spare. So far, the volume of China’s crude salt in stock has reached 17,760,800 tons (in 1997).
It is envisaged that China’s demand for salt will continue to grow along with economic development in the future. In 1995 the China National Association of Light Industry made a prognosis on China’s salt demands at the end of the 20th century and in 2010, which indicated that the salt demands would be estimated at 30 million tons in 2000 and 40 million tons in 2010, respectively.
China’s salt resources are extremely abundant: the sea salt resources are immeasurable, the explored reserves of well-mineral salt and lake salt amount to about 400 billion tons and the volume of salt mineral resources is estimated to be 11 trillion tons. So, the future salt production construction is garanteed with ample resources and there is no worry about the shortage of resources.As the professional manufacturer of complete sets of mining machinery, such as hammer crusher,cone crushers, Henan Hongxing is always doing the best in products and service.limestone rotary kiln:http://www.hxjq-crusher.com/23.html.ore separating line:http://www.hxjqchina.com/.
China’s existing salt production capacity is basically sufficient to meet the demand at the end of the 20th century.
In order to achieve a sustainable development of the salt industry and a supply-demand balance on the salt market in the future, China’s salt industry will adopt the following measures:
1) Strengthening the macrocontrol to form a rational distribution framework of the salt industry, and implementing the guiding thought of achieving a moderate development of the sea salt production, practicing a strict control of the salt making by the vacuum method, and allowing no further expansion of the lake salt production capacity in the near future, so as to strive to control the salt production capacity within the scope of the demand;
2) Putting the salt production under control according to the market demand and determining the production quota according to the sale, so as to achieve a basic balance between the output and the sale;
3) Implementing the principle of revitalizing the salt industry through science and technology to reduce the cost and raise the technical content of products;
4) Devoting more efforts to enforcing the law, so that the salt mining is managed according to law and the production and circulation order in the salt industry is rectified and improved;
5) Actively preventing and controlling the environmental pollution, including the ground surface, water body and air pollution and the noise pollution, caused by salt mining and processing and production of salt chemicals, so as to protect the environment for the benefit of mankind.
