Government-government to produce salt-salt

In the words, the government will not have to rely on price and increase the desired level of iodized salt without the private company. Now it will produce salt to meet the needs of the people of the country.

Under this scheme, a plan to set up a large salt-ionization plant (SIP) in Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) in Patiya, Chittagong with the help of UNICEF under the project has been taken.

The ongoing project titled 'Complete the iodine deficit through the process of preparation of universal iodine salt in the cost of 72 million 91 lakhs will be implemented from the current period of the year 2018.

The demand for daily salt in the country is about 15.73 million tonnes. Private companies are producing full production.

There should be at least 50 milligrams of iodine per kg of salt in the standard. However, the presence of iodine is not in the right place. As a result, an adult man is not getting 150 microgram iodine daily, said BSCIC.

Iodine deficiency or thyroid syndrome is one of the causes of health problems in the country. Obesity, dryness in the hair, sleep may be considered sleepy due to lack of iodine.

BSCIC sources said, the salt plants, initially produced in the proposed plant, would be sold to government agencies including ration. As a result, the use of iodine will be absolutely sure.

BSCIC salt production project director Engineer Shafiqul Alam told banglanews, "I have seen the presence of iodine in one kilogram of private kg of a brand, 35. 375 milligrams. Iodine's presence in the other two sodium salt is 29.55 and 32.55 milligrams. If these salts are provided to the hospital, the patients will face more problems. So, in government initiative, I will initially produce the hospital and salt salt. Police, BGB and other government forces will sell '.

'I believe, various development partners will come forward in this work.'

He said that the production of salts in Dhaka, Narayanganj, Chandpur, Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Khulna and Jhalokati salvaging was produced by Patiya,

Through the iodized salt will be supplied. BSCIC's 64 district offices will also be spread throughout Bangladesh.

BSCIC sources said, the demand for this salt iodized will be created among consumers. The government will ensure the distribution, distribution and sustainable business plan of the Potassium Commission.
