The reporter learned from people familiar with the matter, Taobao has issued a clear notice, asked all online shop this stop selling all edible salt, or will force the next shelf. As a result of the sudden incident, some shopkeepers have begun to cut prices.

Taobao whole net a salt difficult to ask

The reporter in a Taobao store forwarded an email to see, "salt ban" is now fully implemented.

Taobao to clear requirements, according to the rules and regulations: Salt retail must hold the local salt industry authorities issued the "Salt Retail license", salt retail units purchase and sale of salt products in the local and provincial salt industry in charge of the unified management, the salt retail units in the iodine deficient areas of the sale of non-iodized salt and unqualified iodized salt. From 26th onwards, all online shop in a week to the relevant products to their own shelves.

Reporter 25th Search found that Taobao is basically difficult to find the mainland of China's salt, only the remaining "http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/17773.html" > Import Food Museum in the quantity of a few stocks, including South Korea barbecue Salt, Japanese household Ajinomoto Edible salt, American modern sea salt and so on. But in the next week, these imported salts will also be discontinued.

"If you need it, take it today," he said. "Tele-Xiang Snack products store customer service said, its store in the sale of a low iodine bamboo salt has entered the countdown to the shelves." And the three crown shop "Magic kitchen dispensers," said the head, they hope to be able to apply to the license after the shelves.

"Salt ban" is constantly expanding

In Jingdong Mall, Dangdang and other large platform, it is also difficult to find salt traces. In Dangdang, reporter 25th only found very few Japanese imports of salt. Guo He, its PR director, later said in a phone call that the goods had been withdrawn for careful consideration.

In fact, two years ago, domestic electricity dealers had already experienced a round of "salt prohibition", the industry insiders said. At that time as a result of the Japanese earthquake triggered by the Fudao nuclear power plant explosion, the country in a "salt can prevent radiation," the rumors of crazy snapped up, had Taobao on March 16, 2011 hit a "single day sales of 1 million bags of salt," the astonishing sales results. Subsequently, China National Salt Industry Corporation set up an emergency team, for market order considerations, to require the major electric dealers to the salt for emergency off the shelf.

After two rounds of bans, the reporter noted that the current online can buy most of the salt is only left to wash the nasal salt, bath salt, rose salt, salt and other non-food salt, and edible salt and only black sesame salt, pepper and other "edge" can still continue to sell.

Although some consumers are slightly dissatisfied with the ban on the sale of salt on the internet, they think the overall impact is limited. "After all, buy a bag of salt on the internet, the postage is more expensive than the salt itself, but some of the high-end consumers who love to buy affordable imports of salt may complain." "A website procurement privately said.

The interests of the monopolist are questioned

"In the final analysis, there is a monopoly interest behind it." "An industry insider who declined to be named said 25th.

Salt is a daily necessity closely related to people's life. In 1996, the State Council promulgated the "Salt franchise Method", clarified the national franchise system of salt. There has been no sign of breaking the ice, although there has been a clamour for openness to the private sector. Industry insiders believe that, in accordance with the usual electrical business logic, salt offline entity dealers in the acquisition of "Salt retail license", through the shop to expand sales channels is normal, but it is not true.

"The key problem is that salt is the national Development and Reform Commission unified price framework, by the NDRC according to local market conditions to fine-tune, there are price differences between regions." Once the internet sales, it is easy to cause a problem, so that some of the distributors in the heart of dissatisfaction, to the competent authorities to complain. "The reality may backfire for some of the still-fanciful stores," the person said.
