Abstract
Salt demand is increasing along with population and industry growth. The imbalance between the amount of industrial salt production with the amount of industrial salt demand is a problem at this time, so to meet the demand for industrial salt, imports are needed. The objectives of this study are: (1) to know trends in the volume of Indonesian salt imports in 2019-2023, (2) to know the factors that influence the demand for industrial salt import volumes in Indonesia. The study uses time series data (2007-2018) which is processed and analyzed using trend analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the trend of industrial salt import volume in Indonesia during 2019-2023 was predicted to increase by 107,101 tons / year. The factors that significantly and positively affect the volume of industrial salt imports in Indonesia are the variable price of imported salt and the number of industries that use raw salt, while the variable amount of production, exchange rate and GDP growth in Indonesia per capita have no significant effect. Suggestions for reducing the rate of imports can be done by improving production technology, government policies related to international salt price stability and industrial salt import quotas.
