A delegation from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing, and Food (MAPA), led by Ana Díaz Pérez, Deputy Director General of Food Quality and Sustainability, visited the salt flats of Santa Pola in Alicante last Wednesday. The purpose of this visit was to gain firsthand insight into the situation of the organic sea salt production sector in Spain.
Organized by the Marine Salinas Association (SALIMAR), the event aimed to strengthen the relationship between the government and the sector, promoting a better understanding of productive activities and the development of policies aligned with the principles of sustainability and the blue economy, which are fundamental to this industry.
During their tour, MAPA representatives were able to observe the operations of the salt farms and the processes for obtaining sea salt. They emphasized the vital connection between this practice and the conservation of coastal ecosystems of great environmental value, as salt production creates unique habitats that foster biodiversity.
The ministry’s working group consisted of prominent professionals from the agricultural and food sectors, including Marta Pérez González, José Miguel González Otero, and Elena O’Hanlon García de Castro. Representing the salt production sector was Gonzalo Díaz Caicoya, General Director of Bras del Port and President of SALIMAR, along with other managers and directors from the salt flats in the region.
The visit highlighted the significant contribution of the marine salt sector to environmental sustainability and the economic development of coastal areas. This event will help strengthen collaboration between the government and the salt industry, reflecting a mutual commitment to sustainability, food quality, and the protection of the natural heritage linked to sea salt production.
Finally, it is worth noting that the Marine Salinas Association (SALIMAR) brings together the main producers of exclusively marine sea salt in Spain, promoting a sustainable production model that respects coastal ecosystems. This sector is positioned as strategic for the country, with significant production and a notable market share in organic sea salt.
