China’s salt production accounts for over 27% of the world’s total salt production. It is, without a doubt, the country that produces the most salt in the world. In 2011, through the state-owned China National Salt Industry Corporation, China produced the largest amount of table salt in the world. The said company controlled the monopoly of (edible) salt production in China since 1950 until the monopoly was broken by the government at the beginning of 2016.
