Raw Inland Salt

Inland salt produced by solar evaporation of underground brine is sold for edible as well as industrial purpose. The salt farmers require a working capital assistance of Rs.50,000 to Rs.60,000 for the entire production cycle. At present it is provided by the middleman at explotative rates of interest. SGMH is to provide working capital assistance to the salt farmers at a minimum service charge to be able to break the explotative middleman nexus.
