In the case of the salt industry, it was found that newly established (mid-1980s) small-scale salt mills in the urban areas such as Narayanganj and Chittagong are gradually expanding to assume the status of medium-scale industries.
For instance, a salt mill in Narayanganj that employed approximately 100 workers is producing an average of 80 bags of 75 kg refined salt daily.
From the financial aspect of the salt industry, this accounts for the salt mills that have overcome the crisis to grow stronger and the salt mills that are victims of natural disasters to decline into a weaker state.
