Flower of salt: Difference between revisions

===Bulkh===

Because of the amount of space needed to pan ''fleur de sel'', and how invasive it is to migratory bird and sea turtle habits, a moratorium on new salt pans in [[Burgundie]] in [[1998]]. The need for more salt could not be met by the current ''paludiers'' so they looked overseas. Large companies like [[Granquai Restaurant Chain|Granquai]] looked in [[Levantia]] to find similar conditions but the barrier to entry was too high because of the labor laws and high pay for [[Urcea]]ns. [[Bulkh]] provided a perfect opportunity for apprenticed ''paludiers'' who could no longer start their own pan in [[Burgundie]]. By [[2002]], [[Bulkh]] was encouraging young ''paludiers'' to come and offering them favorable land leases and even building basic homes as an incentive. From [[2003]]-[[2030]] the number of ''fleur de sel'' pans in [[Bulkh]] exploded from 8 to 93. These pans are all run by 4-5 people and are often run like a {{wp|Kibbutz}} with the 4-5 people sharing in communal amenities and the profits. On average, [[Bulkh]] produces 13 tons of ''fleur de sel'' each year.

===Urcea===

In [[1997]], the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] restaurant chain [[Granquai Restaurant Chain|Granquai]] leased 250 hectares of salt marshes in the Archduchy of [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Urceopolis]] and began converting them into marshes for the production of ''fleur de sel''. They opened up a training program in three different communities and by [[2018]] the operation was entirely worked and overseen by [[Urcea]]n staff. Seeing the immense profit and the low capital investment required, the [[Government of Urcea]] created a grant program to develop competing ''fleur de sel'' marshes in [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Urceopolis]] and [[Canaery]]. This program has seen the creation of 13 marshes, employing a total of 83 people, creating an average of 5 tons of ''fleur de sel'' each year.
