The Salt Manufacturers’ Association of Sri Lanka has announced several measures to reduce the price of salt in the consumer market following discussions and an agreement reached with the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA).

It has been decided to immediately release imported salt subject to the following Maximum Retail Prices (MRPs) as sufficient stocks have been received: Crystal Salt Rs. 180 per kilo, Table Salt Rs. 240 per kilo and Table Salt Rs. 120 for 400 grams.

A statement further warned that salt packed overseas in unlawful packaging can be observed being sold in the local market and therefore urges the consumers and traders to direct their attention towards such matters when purchasing or selling salt.
