From the Salt Range to the world
Hidden beneath the foothills of Pakistan’s Potohar Plateau lies one of nature’s purest treasures — Himalayan pink salt. Mined from the Khewra Salt Mine, the second-largest salt deposit in the world, this pink-hued mineral has become a global symbol of wellness, purity, and natural living.
With its origins exclusive to Pakistan, Himalayan pink salt enjoys a premium position in international markets. It is exported in multiple forms — edible salt, bath salt, cooking slabs, candle holders, tiles, and decorative lamps — making it a versatile, high-margin product for importers across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
At Shah Mercantile Co., we help buyers access authentic, export-quality Himalayan salt products — straight from the source.
Why global demand for Himalayan pink salt is rising
- Health and wellness: Contains trace minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Preferred as a natural, unprocessed alternative to regular table salt.
- Interior design and spa products: Carved into lamps, tiles, and decorative items due to its therapeutic appeal.
- Culinary use: Chefs use salt blocks and slabs for grilling and serving gourmet dishes.
- Sustainability trend: Increasing demand from eco-conscious and wellness-focused consumers.
Retailers, distributors, and wellness brands are actively sourcing pink salt products to meet growing consumer interest in holistic lifestyles.

Pakistan’s natural monopoly and export edge
Unlike many minerals traded globally, Himalayan pink salt is only found in Pakistan. Countries like India and China often re-export Pakistani-origin salt under private labels, which creates a trust gap in the market. Direct sourcing from Pakistan ensures both authenticity and better margins.
