More than 18 billion VND invested in infrastructure for salt industry in Dien Van

(Baonghean.vn) - Dien Van, Dien Chau is one of the localities with a long-standing salt production and trading profession. However, over the past many years, salt production has decreased due to lack of investment in salt industry infrastructure, and many salt fields have been abandoned.

To overcome difficulties in salt production as well as preserve this traditional local profession, the State has invested in infrastructure for the salt industry here, mainly building water channels and internal road systems to help salt farmers increase the value of salt production.

Workers are paving the water channel for the salt fields.

Mr. Hoang Ngoc Bien, Chairman of Van Salt CooperativeSouth, Dien Van commune, said the commune has a total area of ​​67 hectares of salt, of which Van Salt CooperativeMalehas 51 hectares. For a long time, the infrastructure for the salt industry has been particularly difficult, the canal system has been silted up, causing many salt production areas to lack water for production. Not to mention that there is no internal transportation system, people mainly have to use human power to carry salt, and transport wheelbarrows to the shore to sell salt. The synchronous upgrade helps people increase the value of salt production.

The canals are all paved with reinforced concrete slabs.

Most of the old canals are silted up, making it impossible to carry water to the salt fields. Photo: Workers are dredging mud to construct canals.

Up to this point, the construction unit has completed 25/100 culverts and paved 1.5/3.7 km of canals with concrete.
