Sea Salt (Solar Salt)

Sea salt is produced through solar evaporation of sea water and is the smallest source of salt in Pakistan. The sea salt production is carried on here at 7 different factories with a total daily production of well above 1100 tons or 330000 tons per year.

The 7 different producers differ in quality with each other all these are located in or around the cosmopolitan city of Karachi, as being a port city, it enjoys excellent sea shore of the Arabian Sea with very fast winds almost all round the year. The best quality amongst these are sometimes found to be as good as 98% pure NaCl and normally the quality varies between 95% to 98% depending on the season and individual factory management.

The average rainfall is very very low and thus solar salt production enjoys a very very conducive weather condition almost all over the year.
