Salt Trade

Salt is an essential commodity for human beings, and its demand has been increasing in the markets since the early days. There was no information regarding salt production in Assam during the precolonial and colonial periods. On the other hand, small salt brines existed in places like Sadiya, Burhat and Naga hills, but they were unaffordable. At that time, people used Khar, the burn ashes of certain trees which produced a salty taste instead of ready-made salt. The salt became a symbol of wealth which helped people maintain a high status in the society of Assam as well as in the Goalpara district. The salt of Bengal became very famous because of its affordability—its supply was also available at Goalpara in the colonial period. Thus, Goalpara became the centre of salt trade of the north-eastern frontier countries. This article will attempt to highlight the salt trade and its significance in the colonial period.

Salt Trade

As a daily necessity for human life and also as a taxed commodity, salt has played an important part in the economic and political development of China. As salt is used regularly by all people, its annual consumption is largely predictable so that a tax on salt, as a disguised poll tax, provided the government with a reliable source of revenue. For this reason, it has drawn the special attention of statesmen and financiers throughout China's history. In terms of economic magnitude, the business of the production and marketing of salt was a major industry in agrarian China for centuries and the largest single economic undertaking in Ch'ing China (1644–1911). Control of salt and its financial gains frequently became the immediate objectives of revolutionaries, rebels, brigands, and other organized malcontents in China. The sources of salt supply in Ch'ing China were widespread. Several distinctive methods of production were employed in different areas. The distribution of salt involved all types of transportation available in traditional China. Its flow was well geared to the national, regional and local trade. This paper reconstructs the salt trade in Ch'ing China in its geographical context. It stresses five aspects: centers of production, state control, trade networks, means of transportation, and spatial structure of market areas.
