8 Countries that Produce the Most Salt in the World

4. Germany

11,900,000 metric tons

Fourth in the list of countries that produce the most salt in the world is Germany. The Euro economic giant has two major salt production areas – Reichenhall and Berchtesgaden – both born of ancient and traditional salt production techniques that have evolved into state-of-the-art facilities. Many of the other salt mines throughout Germany produce less quantity or have remained as museums or salt mine tour sites.
