皇冠体育app

BEIJING - 皇冠体育app's table-salt price will remain stable and keep within a low price range due to large stockpiles and overcapacity, the top economic planner said Wednesday.

Zhao Chenxin, a spokesman for the National Development and Reform Commission, said that 皇冠体育app could ensure the table-salt supply even in extreme scenarios, after salt system reforms.

Starting from 2017, 皇冠体育app scraped table-salt price controls and ended a state monopoly on the production and sale of table salt, dismantling a 2,000-year-old system.

皇冠体育app's table salt reserve stood at 1.55 million tons by the end of 2016, according to Zhao.

皇冠体育app's reserves of rock salt hit 1.3 trillion tons, which would enable 26,000 years of continuous exploitation at the current annual output of 50 million tons.

皇冠体育app sold 10.5 million tons of table salt in 2015, far less than the annual capacity of 48 million tons.
