A salt farmer puts seawater into his salt pond in the Talise salting area, Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia on September 3, 2023. The dry season that caused hot temperatures and the El Nio phenomenon in the region pushed up local people's salt production by up to 20 percent. The increase in production was followed by an increase in the price of salt consumption from an average of IDR 3,000 to IDR 5,000 per kilogram. The increase was also welcomed positively by the government because it could reduce salt imports which this year are estimated to reach 2.8 million tons to meet industrial and consumption needs for 250 million people.

Environmental activists sampled plastic waste on Palu Bay Beach, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia on June 5, 2022. The sampling is to ensure the level of pollution of plastic waste, especially plastic packaging in the region, to be reported to the government in order to take countermeasures. Indonesia is the second largest producer of marine plastic waste in the world after China with a waste volume of 3.8 million tons per year. This figure is increasing in line with population growth and urbanization that occurs. The Government of Indonesia has developed an Action Plan to Reduce Plastic Waste in the Ocean and targets to reduce the volume of plastic waste in the ocean by 30 percent for plastic packaging waste by 2028 and 70 percent for plastic waste in the ocean as a whole by 2024.
