In June, the epidemic situation in India fluctuated, and the supply of raw salt was limited. Although the domestic sea salt is in the stage of a large number of listing, the salt enterprises are cautious in shipping, and the market supply is not much. The main reasons for the continuous rise of domestic trade market are the tightening of import sources and insufficient domestic supply. At the same time, some of the raw salt imported from India is downstream, or domestic trade sources are purchased, boosting the market to rise further; or turn to purchase Australian salt, and increase the proportion of Australian salt in the import market.
