Data from Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries showed national production fell last year to 1 million tons amid a shorter-than-usual dry season, followed by a La Nina climate pattern that is associated with wetter conditions. In 2023, the last El Nino period, output was 2.5 million tons.

"Production will definitely increase because the dry weather period is longer," said the head of the Indonesian Salt Users Industry Association, Cucu Sutara.
