Pakistan’s Himalayan Pink Salt has received international attention after winning an innovation award in Belgium. The award highlights the growing demand for natural and unique products in the global market and positions Pakistan’s salt industry for further growth.
The Himalayan Pink Salt is sourced mainly from the Khewra mines in Punjab. Known for its distinctive pink color and mineral-rich content, it has been widely exported around the world. The recognition in Belgium shows how this traditional product is now being valued for innovation in global food and wellness industries.
The award praised Pakistan’s Himalayan Pink Salt for its sustainable sourcing and new value-added products, including salt lamps, cooking slabs, and wellness-related items. These innovations have helped transform a traditional raw material into a wide range of consumer-friendly goods.
Industry experts say the award will help boost Pakistan’s image in international markets. It is expected to open new trade opportunities in Europe, where demand for natural and eco-friendly products is increasing. This also strengthens Pakistan’s position as the main exporter of Himalayan Pink Salt.
Over the years, Pakistan has faced challenges in branding and marketing its salt exports. Many products have been sold internationally under different labels, reducing Pakistan’s visibility as the source country. Winning this innovation award in Belgium may help address these concerns by giving global recognition to Pakistan’s role in the salt industry.
The Himalayan Pink Salt industry contributes significantly to Pakistan’s economy. With new achievements like this award, exporters are hopeful about expanding into new markets and competing strongly with international brands.
