The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has just issued a decision on adjusting the investment policy of the project of upgrading and renovating infrastructure for salt production in the 2021-2025 period. The decision includes a project of renovating and upgrading infrastructure for the production of Hon Khoi salt fields with a total investment of nearly 61 billion VND. This is good news for the salt workers in the Hon Khoi area.

According to the decision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on adjusting the project investment policy, the scope, investment scale and total investment of each component project will be determined when officially approved, ensuring consistent with the master plan, land use plan of each locality and the total investment of the whole project.

According to Nguyen Duy Quang, the renovation and upgrading of infrastructure and solidification of the Hon Khoi salt field irrigation system is an important premise for the province to continue to implement the supporting contents of the project on raising the value of salt production and processing in the province in the period of 2021 - 2030.
In order to realize the set goals, besides the investment in infrastructure, the change of each salt worker is a decisive factor. Regarding this issue, in late September and early October, the Rural Development Sub-Department held a training course to improve the value of salt production and processing in combination with production and tourism development.
For the development of the salt industry, the province's agriculture sets a goal from now to 2025 to change production methods, apply scientific and technical advances, increase productivity from 20 to 30%...; increase income from 60 million VND/person/year at present to 90 million VND/person/year by 2025.
