At the salt evaporation ponds in Gongoni, Kilifi County. Water (mostly seawater) is directed into the ponds by the use of pumps. Natural evaporation is then left to take place and salt is subsequently harvested. The ponds also provide resting grounds for waterbirds. #BlueEconomy
The salt production sector has large-scale players who have monopolized the table salt market and special salt suitable for baking. The small-scale players like the one whose ponds I've pictured focus on other markets like animal feed makers.
There is ongoing competition, sometimes unfair, despite the focus on different markets. The larger companies are often accused of blocking seawater from reaching the ponds of the small-scale entrepreneurs in the sector.
