Industry Snapshot

Salt represents nearly half of all industry chemical and fertilizer mineral industry shipments. Consequently, the performance of the salt industry tends to reflect over-all industry conditions.

Because production was declining faster than production, the United States increased its reliance on imports to 23 percent of domestic consumption in 2003, compared to 16 percent of consumption in 2000. At the same time, exports declined from 1.12 million metric tons in 2001 to 500,000 metric tons in 2003.

Organization and Structure

The major products mined by the chemical and fertilizer minerals industry included salt, sulfur, barite, fluorspar, lithium, and strontium.
