Typhoon hits sea salt prices may increase
China Drying Network News Shandong is a large salt producer in China, and Binzhou is the second largest salt producing city in the province. Wudi County is the second largest salt producing county in Shandong Province. Affected by the typhoon Dawei in early August, Binzhou Salt produced 1.3 million tons of fall crops in the autumn, with a direct economic loss of 900 million yuan, and the follow-up cost of the beach management was nearly 600 million yuan. At present, the salt fields are fighting against self-rescue. Experts said that sea salt prices may fine-tune this winter and next spring, but the increase will not be excessive.

The heavy rainfall on July 22 and 26, together with the effect of Typhoon Dawei on August 3, resulted in a maximum precipitation of 426.6 mm in the salt area. Due to the large amount of rain, long duration, and almost zero evaporation, it has brought great losses to various salt companies. In particular, on August 3, the tropical storm “Dawei†experienced heavy rain, strong winds, and high tides. The salt production companies suffered heavy losses. Heavy rain continued on August 3, and the upper reaches of the river drained floodwaters. The downstream tides surged and the salt trenches, sampans, ponds, houses, etc. were destroyed. The floods in Yantian could not be drained. Except for the partial loss of guanling crude salt, the basic loss of the fourth-grade brine required for production was almost exhausted, and there was little remaining salt in the pool, and the production of salt in the later period suffered a significant impact. According to statistics, the city’s original salt output was reduced by 1.3 million tons in the fall, 4,300 tons of bromine, plus the loss of equipment from the beach, and the direct economic loss was nearly 900 million yuan. Among them, 39.85 million yuan were innocent, 261.095 million yuan in Beihai New Area, and 23,000 million in Zhanhua.

Raining loss. At present, the restoration and reconstruction work is progressing steadily, and efforts are being made to resume production as soon as possible, striving to minimize losses. Due to the impact of typhoon, the production of salt production in Binzhou City was more, and the Dongying salt area adjacent to Binzhou was also damaged to a different degree. However, the salt production area in Shandong Province was not affected by Weifang, and the original salt price may be adjusted upwards in the winter and next spring. , but there will be no significant increase. According to Wu Kechang, Salt Chemicals Bureau of Binzhou Salt Bureau, the production capacity of salt in southern wells has increased, coal prices have been lowered, and production costs for wells and mineral salts have fallen.
