Overview & Profile

Neelkanth Salt Limited is part of the Neelkanth Group in Africa. It manufactures both industrial and edible (food-grade) salt in Tanzania. The company is based in Dar es Salaam and has operations in the Coast Region (Mkuranga area). Its postal address is P.O. Box 11908, Dar es Salaam, and the factory is located in Dundai Village, Pwani Coast.

Operations & Capacity

The company processes about 600 tonnes of salt daily and employs around 500 workers. In late 2023, reports noted that the factory was facing dwindling raw salt stock—only about one day’s supply remained. This prompted government officials to encourage local raw salt producers to supply the factory so operations could continue without disruption.

Trade Activities

Neelkanth Salt Limited appears in global trade listings as both an importer and exporter. It is recognized as one of Tanzania’s active salt manufacturers and suppliers in international trade databases.

Business Challenges

The company’s biggest recent challenge has been a shortage of raw salt, which threatens continuous production. The Tanzanian government has stepped in, urging local producers to channel their raw salt to Neelkanth’s facility to sustain operations.
