SALT INDUSTRY IN VIETNAM

Salt is an indispensable spice in every human meal. Using salt with high sodium content regularly will seriously affect your health as recommended by WHO and the Ministry of Health. Salt also plays an extremely important role in many industries: food processing, chemical production, pharmaceutical and cosmetics, …
The traditional salt industry in Vietnam has a long history and is an important industry for the development of the country. With a coastline of more than 3,200km, Vietnam is considered a country with great potential for salt production. However, production using traditional manual methods and scattered scale means productivity and quality are still low, not meeting the requirements of many industries. Vietnam’s total salt production in 2022 is nearly 700,000 tons (According to the Report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam). With this output, Vietnam will need to import 400,000 – 600,000 tons of salt/year worth billions of dollars to meet the demand of 1.5 – 1.6 million tons/year by 2030. Although Vietnam still has much Salt production potential has not been fully exploited. That is one of our big concerns.

NANOSALT

NanoSalt – “High-quality Vietnamese Healthcare Salt” is the love of the Nghe An young generation to their own local salt product, traditional values, and their contribution to people’s well-being.

SOCIAL MANTRA

“Nanosalt promotes inclusive economic development

by providing healthy low-sodium salt solutions made from brine

OUR VISION

Desire to become a pioneer brand in the market that develops and applies the latest technologies in deep salt processing, providing at least 1 million Vietnamese people with rich nutritious salts. Micro-minerals are good for the body, increasing income by at least 50% for salt farmers in sand-dried salt fields in Vietnam.

OUR MISSION

To be a pioneering social impact enterprise innovating deep processing technologies from 100% natural sea minerals into nutritious salt products that are good for health, with sodium content as low as 50%. while still retaining the natural taste of salt from the sea.

OUR VALUE

“Devotion – Responsibility – Creativeness”

OUR SOLUTION

From brine, which is a by-product of the salt production process, through exclusive multi-stage separation, NanoSalt has created 4 product lines with a variety of products:

  • Mineral salts are rich in nutrients
  • Medicinal salt
  • Beauty salt
  • Medical salt

With rule:

– 3 No:

  • No MSG
  • No preservatives
  • No colorants

– 2 Yes:

  • Supports stabilization of blood pressure, heart, and kidneys
  • Balance essential minerals for the body

OUR TECHNOLOGY

Applying the multi-layer separation technology process consisting of 9 steps to separate various types of mineral salts including Mg, K, and Na from seawater or brine, then through the process of drying, roasting, and mixing to create useful products such as mineral-rich table salt with reduced sodium content, bath salts, foot soaking salts, moisture-absorbing salts (dry MgSO₄), medicinal salts as raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry.

The seawater is concentrated into a solution with a salinity of over 30 degrees Bome, or brine (salt brine) with a similar salinity from salt fields, combined with the cold crystallization process will separate over 700 kg of various salts from 1000 L of solution. The specialized equipment accompanying the technological process is inseparable, ensuring the technology’s accuracy, the output’s quality, the best energy efficiency, and cost-saving production.

  • Innovation: This is a model of processing in the Salt industry that can be applied to salt fields across the country such as Ca Na, Bac Lieu, Can Tho, Quang Binh, Quang Ngai,…
  • Creativity: The technological process includes many steps, each step has its secrets, parameters, characteristics, and strict control process, not yet available on the market, to produce the right type of salt.

After 7 years of research and development, the enterprise has completed the technological process, fully equipped the production line, installed and commercialized the production line, purchased salt and brine from salt farmers in Nghe An, sold various low-sodium NanoSalt products (over 20 types) nationwide, and received a warm reception from a large number of customers. This is a pioneering and effective model for Vietnam’s salt industry, combining traditional salt-making villages to exploit the medicinal properties of salt while preserving the salty taste that people are accustomed to.

OUR IMPACT

  • About SDG 1: No poverty

The project creates more than 1,000 new jobs, contributes to increasing income by 50% for Quynh Luu salt farmers, preserves and maintains 12 salt cooperatives in Quynh Luu, helping to reduce poverty.     

  • About SDG 3: Good health and well-being

Nanosalt takes care of customers’ health with nutritional products, rich in microminerals, contributing to protecting the heart of the entire population, reducing the risk of diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes… and increasing the ability to absorb nutrients. for future generations at a reasonable price.

    • About SDG 5: Gender equality

Of these, 80% of the salt craft villages are currently occupied by women, so the project creates a major impact on economic development for women in the local salt industry.

 

 

 

  • About SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth and SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities

Creating sustainable livelihoods for the people of Quynh Luu, besides, young people in Quynh Luu have the opportunity to develop the salt industry locally. Quynh Luu’s traditional salt craft village will be preserved and sustainable agriculture developed.

 

 

 

  • About SDG 13: Climate action

In the past, people often discarded the brine after production. With Nanosalt’s exclusive processing technology, we can recover brine resources into valuable goods, which also means increasing income for salt farmers. The marine ecosystem is produced in a closed cycle, with no excess released into the environment.

.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

Throughout its development journey, NanoSalt has gradually asserted its position in the current market. NanoSalt has won several domestic awards such as VIFOTEC Vietnam Science and Technology Innovation Award, National Startup Project Development, and   Luong Dinh Cua Award,…

Regarding certification, Nano has received certifications from reputable units including ISO 9001:2015. We also get 3 technology patents.

Besides, NanoSalt is one of 30 businesses creating social impact to receive a six-month coaching services and VNĐ100 million (US$4,278) as seed funding from the project to support businesses in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic (funded by Global Affairs Canada through the UNDP Development Program and AED ).

By applying 3 technological inventions in the multi-layer separation of marine minerals, Nanosalt has created an ecosystem including 14 products from high-nutritious salt, becoming a healthy-salt-manufacturer pioneer in Vietnam, serving products that:

“Nature – safety – healthy”

Therefore, Nanosalt has helped the home-land to maintain and promote traditional salt production, increase income for salt farmers, and create cardiovascular health solutions for the Vietnamese community.
