LINDI, May 30 -- THE Minister for Minerals, Anthony Mavunde has launched a new salt processing plant by the State Mining Corporation (STAMICO) in Kilwa District, Lindi Region.

The plant is expected to benefit small-scale salt producers in Tanzania with a guaranteed market for their products.

Launching the facility at Lingaula on Friday, Minister Mavunde said the project fulfills President Samia Suluhu Hassans directive to address the long-standing challenge of unreliable markets for raw salt harvested by small-scale producers.

Additionally, he said that the plant will buy and process locally produced salt, providing a lasting solution to a problem that has affected producers in Lindi and other salt-producing areas for years.
