ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF SALT MINING IN GHANA
Ghana is endowed with commercial quantities of common salt, which have not been fully exploited to effectively contribute to the countrys economic growth. The market potential of salt in Ghana and in the ECOWAS sub-region is enormous and is currently generating about US $62.5 million annually though a market value of over $5 billion is available in the sub- region. When fully exploited the salt industry could help in providing employment for Ghanaians leading to improvement in infrastructural development in communities where the mineral is found. This paper calls for the improvements in the current salt production system and diversification into value addition with the chloro-alkali industry. Suggestions are presented to help solve some of the problems militating against the industry.
