The employees conducted a field tour of the solar evaporation ponds system for salt production and the company's factories to learn about the production mechanisms of the raw material (carnallite) and the stages of potash manufacturing. They praised the company's efforts and the qualitative operations it implements, as well as its important role in contributing to raising the Kingdom's gross domestic product and providing direct and indirect job opportunities for Jordanians.
