Salt Pans
Sea Salt is one of Kampot's most important products. Vast salt pans (salt fields) stretch across much of the coastline south and southeast out of Kampot and Kep.
The salt pans consist of large areas of hardpack ground divided up into paddy like pans. Ocean water is pumped into the pans from canals, then allowed to evaporate, leaving a thick layer of salt coating the ground. Workers rake the salt carefully into piles, collecting and moving it to storage.
