Turkey Hints at Salt Export Link From Government Monopoly
Turkey produces about 350000 tons of salt yearly, controlling most output as a government monopoly started with Turkish, Italian and Greek capital. The Tuzla works shifted to state control in the 1930s under Ataturk. Japan has signed for 250000 tons for ceramics and table use at 1.80 a ton, cheaper than Turkish wholesale. Officials say this could allow ships from Japan to buy Turkish salt and aim to export to the United States.
