Indonesia Maritime Country, But The Rare Salt, This Is The Explanation
Themoderatemuslims.blogspot.co.id - It is not just the common people who question the relationship between the length of Indonesian beaches and the production of salt.
Even the ex minister of the class of Prof. Emil Salim and the senior politician who crossed HNW was questioned. (It's strange that they just ask now, but that's fine).
If we stick to the shoreline, what about the countries of Austria and Belarus that enter the top 20 salt exporters but do not have an inch (0km) coastline?
What about the Dutch who only have long beach 1/45 long beach of Indonesia but become the main exporter of salt world ?. Why not Canada who has the longest beach length who became the world's major exporter of salt ?.
Just like Indonesia, Canada also understands that not all beaches can be used as salt fields.
The salt exporting nations average have salt mines that will run out in the next hundreds of years, the cost they use to mine is much cheaper and the salt is better.
While the pattern of evaporation of sea water as in Indonesia do that is very dependent on the weather, produce a bad salt. Even if Indonesia impose must use engineering technology for the evaporation of salt will be very costly.
The salt from the mine is dried by nature for millions of years, while the new evaporated salt is dried for 1 month, and even if the weather is good, the results will be much different.
For many years, why has not salt production in Indonesia been growing?
What is wrong?
What is wrong is that we are trying against the laws of Demand Suply and Price. The price of imported salt is Rp 500 / kg sdh to Indonesia, local salt price is Rp 750-1200 / kg.
NTT is the largest salt producer in Indonesia, but with the price of Rp 750 - 1200 / kg, then how much should be borne if sent outside NTT? The logistics costs are too great. The effort is futile and will always be a dilemma.
In my opinion, Indonesia's maritime is better focused on fisheries, tourism, seaweed etc. and not too impose to self-sufficiency in salt. If you can be grateful if you do not import. Import is not always ugly as it becomes a necessity and is not diverted.
We must realize that we are not too perfect a country like the song "wooden stick become a plant, a milk pond .." just like humans, the country also needs another country.
Nationalists must also be realistic.
