The signing into law of a measure that aims to revitalize the salt industry will bolster the efforts of the country to achieve food security, according to nonprofit organization Philippine Chamber of Cooperatives Inc. (Coop Chamber).
The group said salt is an important ingredient in food and is essential to certain industries.
Coop Chamber also said that it shares the views of the Salt Industry Networks which declared that salt self-sufficiency will contribute to the agro-industrial development of the Philippines.
