Pakistan Himalayan Pink Salt Trend to bring Dollars in Pakistan

[Republic]

Chew this

Himalayan salt is Pakistan's best known rock salt.[11] It is used for cooking, as bath salt, as brine[31] and as a raw material for many industries, including a soda ash plant set up by AkzoNobel in 1940.[37] Salt from Khewra mine is also used to make decorative items like lamps, vases, ashtrays and statues,[38] which are exported to the United States, India and many European countries.[36][39] The use of rock salt to make artistic and decorative items started during the Mughal era, when many craftsman made tableware and decorations from it.[40] Warth introduced the use of a lathe to cut out art pieces from the rock salt, as he found it similar to gypsum in physical characteristics.[41]

At least read and comprehend properly what you copy paste...
It is decorative items made of rock salt, not the salt for consumption.
Moreover it is a Wikipedia page not revised since long, that too not supporting your claim.

I have given you reference of third party site which keeps watch on international trade.
Don't rush in increased hormonal secretion, stay calm, think logically and go through at least four five third party references before commenting anything.

I've been saying this for months now on PDF, finally a proper thread.

Last week I was at the grocery store and saw pink salt "made in India"

If anyone has any connection with anyone in power, please bring this nonsense to a stop.

export the salt at premium prices and sell it to local manufacturers for cheap and let them export final products.
Enough is enough.

The Pak salt mines should be handed over to the Pak Fauj, they can set up a subsidiary company to mine, process and market value added salt products. International marketing/ad companies can be roped in on a % commission basis.

I know you are trolling but Pak Fauj is the only institution that is world class.

Obviously the solution is to set up institutions that are also world class and hopefully Imran Khan will succeed in that.

Mining the salt and packaging is much easier as compared to branding the salt and taking it at global level.
For this you need lot of network, understanding of international business and its rules and regulations in various markets and not to say money power too. This is why we see American and European brands everywhere, because they have access to those big networks to push things. In south asia we make product for our domestic consumption first, so not much shit is given to packaging, branding, quality etc. If product gets some base in local market then we try to sell those products in interenational market for our diaspora, where as the european and american approach is totally different, they make product for global world, they are not looking to sell to spanish or to frenchs across the globe, but they are looking forward to sell to africans, indians, latin americans. And they do this because they have built networks for global world.

And given the Pakistan industrialist and traders dont have such a big network in global business market, expecting them to establish global brand and pushing it under there name would be very difficult. They first need to gain access to these networks by doing joint ventures, tie ups and supply there products under these international players network...And as they grow start building there bases to access the network with there own products.

Its not difficult, but its not so easy too..Pakistani companies will reach those levels, but it would take time and would need good economic policies from government too..Business doesnt like insecurity, if govt can focus on removing the security related issues, business can grow multifold for Pakistan.

If they can be industry and trader for Ummah, they have market bigger then china or india.

Problem is Even if everything exist today how can smaller companies export that to international market easily
Pakistan needs proper brand, the processing of the salt to different high end products which wont be easy and quick.

Need health and safety test, unless a big investment is done starting from scratch to end products with exporting at decent rate not much can be done

No, I am not. You have answered your question. If Pak Fauj is the only institution that is world class, then only Pak Fauj can create a world class salt marketing company. Once it is established, that entity can be privatised.

a better idea would be to create more world class institutions.
