Meanwhile, Engr. Flores mentioned that the PSU-DOST ASIN Center, in collaboration with its partner SUCs/HEIs, government agencies, and NGOs, can offer support in several key areas; these include the standardization of salterns and site mapping, providing access to laboratories and lab analyses for salt, and establishing standard guidelines for the quality of salt for both food and non-food uses.
The four-day gathering gave participants a synchronized understanding of each stakeholderโs role, as participants were grouped into four components (input provision, production, post-harvest processing, and trade and marketing).
The recent convention is a follow-up activity on the initial workshop held on March 13-14, 2024 which focused on evaluating the current status and identifying critical gaps in the salt industry.
