Darmawan said salt farmers wished El Nino would return every year because of the output boost.

Production in Cirebon reached nearly 600 metric tons in July, compared to just 25 to 30 tons in the same month last year, said Sudiharjo, an official at the Cirebon Regency Food Security and Fisheries Agency, who only goes by one name.
