"Shaanxi Province Salt Management Regulations (First Revised Draft)" Article 37:
Salt wholesale refers to the activities of salt wholesale enterprises to sell salt in bulk to other salt wholesale enterprises or retail units (including individual operators).
Salt retail refers to supermarkets, retail stores, sales stalls and other activities that mainly sell salt to salt end users. The end users of salt mainly refer to:
First, urban and rural residents who eat directly;
The second is catering service and collective canteen; The third is food processing enterprises (including individual industrial and commercial households). Small package refers to the salt package below 2000 grams per bag.
According to the National Development and Reform Commission's Measures for the Administration of Salt Price, the formulation or adjustment of salt price should be based on cost investigation and the opinions of consumers and salt operators. However, Hainan did not hold a hearing to solicit consumers' opinions on the price increase of salt involving more than 8 million people on the island.
If we don't break the price hegemony under the monopoly operation of raising prices at will, it will not only harm the interests of the broad masses of the people, but also encourage the domineering of monopoly industries, which is likely to become a hotbed of corruption.
