Production practices of table salt by small-scale miners in Tanzania: A case study of Nkonkilangi, Singida, Tanzania

Abstract: In Tanzania, a small-scale salt enterprise supplies salt which is mainly consumed within the country. However, the producers often lack appropriate production knowledge. The purpose of this study was to assess salt processing and handling practices at Nkonkilangi village in Singida region, Tanzania. A cross-sectional study design was used to collect data. Scheduled interviews with 63 out of 100 producers were conducted using semi-structured questions. The producers were exclusively women (100%) with primary sc… Show more

“…Generally, commercial salts have higher iodine levels compared to local salts, which agrees with the present study. The amount of iodine in salt from the studied villages was influenced by regulatory measures, processing methods [ 17 , 19 , 20 ], and the natural variability of source mineral deposits present, clearly observed in commercial-branded and local salt [ 2 , 65 , 66 ]. Variability in iodine content of commercial-branded, SA (Kaysalt), and SB (Néel Premium) depends on the method used to fortify salt with iodine [ 9 , 67 ], transportation and distribution [ 34 ], and quality control measures during salt production [ 12 ], affecting the final iodine content.…”
