Why Indian sea salt & rock salt for export

India is the world's third-largest salt producer. Gujarat's Rann of Kutch and coastal Khambhat regions produce over 70% of national salt output through solar evaporation — a 6–8 month process that yields exceptionally pure crystalline salt with low residual moisture.

Indian salt ships in three primary categories: refined edible (washed, screened, packaged for direct retail/food-industry use); industrial (less refined, for chemical industry, road de-icing, water softening); and specialty (rock salt, Himalayan-style pink salt, kosher salt, sea-flake salt for gourmet markets).

ZoeM aggregates from Gujarat-based salt cooperatives. Standard supply is 99.7%+ NaCl with adjustable particle size (powder, fine, medium, coarse, crystal). Industrial-grade supply is also available with tailored specifications. Documentation includes customs clearance support, certificate of origin, and food-grade compliance certificates.

Where ZoeM sources from

Primary regions: Gujarat. Full sourcing footprint: Gujarat (Kutch, Bhavnagar, Khambhat), Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan (rock salt).

Season: Year-round production from solar evaporation pans; harvest peak Feb–May.

We work with farmer producer organisations (FPOs), cooperatives and direct grower networks in each region. Pre-shipment grading and quality control happens at FSSAI-licensed packhouses and processing facilities close to the source farms, minimising post-harvest delay.
