Ethiopia is on track to providing iodized salt to its entire 77 million population by 2010, health minister Dr. Theodros Adhanom said in March at a ceremony launching a new iodized salt facility, as reported by WaltaInfo.com.

The country produces 350,000 tons of salt, enough to be self-sufficient, he added, and even to become a salt exporter.  He attributed success to Ethiopia's multi-sectoral national coalition.
