Based in the Kaolack region, the heart of Senegal's salt production, Sel du Saloum is the second-largest operation in the area, both in surface area and in output.

Frequently asked questions about salt

A few pointers on our products, for buyers discovering our salt categories.

What is the difference between edible salt and industrial salt?

Edible salt (sea salt) is intended for human consumption and the food industry. Industrial salt, also called technical salt, is reserved for professional processes: water treatment, manufacturing, and other industrial uses.

What is de-icing salt (road salt)?

De-icing salt, also known as road salt, is used to melt ice and snow on roads. It is used by municipalities and road maintenance companies in Canada, Europe and Nordic markets.

Where does Sel du Saloum's salt come from?

Our salt is produced in Senegal, in the Saloum region, an area historically associated with sea salt production in West Africa.

What packaging is the salt available in?

Salt is available in 25-kilogram sacks (25 kg), 1-tonne big bags, or in bulk. Other formats may be available on request, depending on your handling and transport requirements.

Which countries do you export to?

We export to West Africa (Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Benin), Canada, Europe and other international markets, by road or sea transport.
