The Lanka Salt Company has announced a reduction in the prices of iodized mixed Lak Salt.
The Chairman of the company stated that the price of a 400g packet of iodized salt powder has been reduced by Rs. 20, to Rs. 100.
He further said that the price of a 1kg packet of iodized salt powder has been reduced by Rs. 30, to Rs. 200.
Addressing the media today, he said that the price of a 1kg crystal salt packet has been reduced to Rs. 150.
Noting that the price reduction will be effective starting next week, he added that a 400g packet of the company’s salt powder will be available at Sathosa outlets for Rs. 90.
