Concern over the corrosive effects of salt on roads and the potential effects on the environment have lead to consumers using salt sparingly. The world's output of slat has varied in recent years from 179Mt to 196Mt. Preliminary estimates for 1996 suggest that production was at the upper end of this range at nearly 196Mt. This report is the result of an extensive programme of research by Roskill analysts. They have interviewed major industry players and conducted a close appraisal of information from a wide variety of sources, including governments, trade associations, company reports, leading producers, official organisations, trade journals and technical literature.
Information gathering is only the first step in preparing a report.
