JALALABAD, Jan 4, 2010: A worker packs salt in small plastic bags at a salf producing factory in this eastern city of Jalalabad. The business of salt producing factory in the province is on the verge of collapse due to high price of raw material in Afghanistan and illegal import of low price salt from neighboring countries, officials say.
