Salt plant

In August 2011, Due to long dry season at the location, Australian saltmaker Cheetam Saltworks Ltd. is considering opening a plant in Nagekeo Regency with investment $15 million on a 1,500-hectare plot plus $6 million to build a port and would employ 1,600 people.[11]

No shade at all, good for sunbathing in the morning and afternoon.[12]
