For the first time, Lanka Salt Hambantota will export industrial salt to Canada from the end of this year.
Chairman Lanka Salt, Chaminda Sooriyapatabendhi told Sunday Observer Business that this salt will be used to clean motorways during winter in Canada.
The exports will be through a third party company which has already secured the order for Lanka Salt. Lanka Salt provides over 90% of local industrial salt and also to produce fertiliser. Here workers load industrial salt into lorries.
