The situation in Turkey is assessed relevant to that in Cyprus in order to draw a conclusion on the leading factors in salts industry that enable local and global salt trading. The conclusion will show that Cyprus, despite its richness in the raw salt and favorable conditions will not sustain salt production unlike Turkey that has opportunities further expanding its salt market. Noting that Cyprus still sustains small salt business to produce the Cyprus salt flakes, the economy in generally has made a jump towards tourism and banking and left the salt production lagging behind. The history of salt, its different production methods, its opportunities in Turkey in comparison to Cyprus in which salt production has stopped, the world marker needs of salts and salts’ applications are considered and conclusions are drawn accordingly.
