Ras Hafun salt plant produced 260,000 tons annually by 1933

Evidence

The only other significant commercial venture launched in this period was the salt extraction plant at Ras Hafun, on the Majerteyn coast in the extreme north. Work on this enterprise began in 1920, financed by a group of Lombardy industrialists, and although interrupted by the military campaigns in Majerteynia in 1925–27, the plant was by 1933 producing 260,000 tons of high grade salt annually. The bulk of this was exported to East Africa, India, and the Far East. — I.M. Lewis, I. M. Lewis, A Modern History of the Somali_ Nation…, 271
