Kep Province : Kep Salt Fields

Kep Salt Fields is one of Cambodia's major salt production areas, located in Kep Province. Salt production begins in November and ends in May because the climate there is favorable for salt production. The salt production process begins by draining the salt from the sea into prepared fields. Then, the salt field soil is ground flat so that the salt water evaporates well and the salt water is drained back in. When the salt water evaporates, the salt will start to grow on the ground. Farmers can harvest salt every 3 to 4 days, and in one field, they can harvest 2 to 3 tons of salt. Kep ​​Salt Fields is not only an important salt production area, but also a popular tourist destination for those who want to know how salt is produced and the lives of farmers. The salt produced here is of high quality and contains iodine, which is good for health. Overall, Kep Salt Fields is an interesting place and is important to the economy and tourism of Kep Province.
