Salt-makers were once important professions in [[Oyashima]]ne society, but the craft is nearly extinct in modern times. Part of this is due to the time-consuming traditional methods of producing salt and the hard work that goes with it. Artisanal salt-makers cannot compete with the cheap imported salt prevalent today in [[Audonia]]. Both '''poro ruru'' and ''abe shippo'' are only made by a few families today. Since [[Burgundie]] took possession of the [[Iles Evangaline]] in [[YEAR]], they have invested heavily in the manufactor of ''poro ruru'' and ''abe shippo''. They are commonly sold for the tourist trade for their novelty as well as to gourmet restaurants that feature [[Oyashima]]ne cuisine, namely the [[Granquai Restaurant Chain]]. Due to their rarity, they are considerably more expensive than regular salt. The demand is usually high for ''poro ruru'' and ''abe shippo'', but the supply cannot keep up.

[[Burgundie]], through its The [[Government of Burgundie#Economy, Finance and the Recovery|Burgoignesc Ministry of Economy, Finance, and the Recovery]]'s [[Government of Burgundie#Trade|Department of Trade]] and the [[Government of Burgundie#Agriculture and Food|Ministry of Agriculture and Food]], ''Joint Office of Evangeline Economic Development and Food Security'' "to identify locally acceptable avenues to increase development and output for both local and [[Burgoignesc Metropole|Metropolitan]] consumption", recognized the cultural significance and uniqueness of the artisanal salt-making methods in the [[Iles Evangeline]]. The ''Joint Office of Evangeline Economic Development and Food Security'' has undertaken substantial efforts to invest in and conserve these traditional practices. The delicate art of producing ''poro ruru'' and ''abe shippo'', deeply rooted in [[Oyashima]]ne heritage, faced extinction due to the challenges posed by modernization and the influx of inexpensive imported salt. In response, [[Burgundie]] has played a pivotal role in preserving and revitalizing this endangered culinary tradition. Since taking possession of the [[Iles Evangeline]], [[Burgundie]] has strategically invested in the manufacture of ''poro ruru'' and ''abe shippo''. This investment encompasses financial support, infrastructure development, and collaborative efforts with local salt-making enterprises. The goal is not only to ensure the survival of these traditional methods but also to create economic opportunities for the communities involved.
 
[[Burgundie]]'s initiatives include the establishment of modernized facilities for salt production, incorporating both traditional techniques and contemporary practices. The aim is to enhance efficiency without compromising the authenticity of the artisanal salt-making process. These facilities serve as hubs for preserving the craftsmanship and transferring knowledge to future generations. In addition to the economic aspect, [[Burgundie]]'s efforts extend to cultural conservation. The preservation of ''poro ruru'' and ''abe shippo'' is seen as an integral part of safeguarding [[Oyashima]]ne identity and culinary heritage. Through collaborative projects with local communities, [[Burgundie]] works to document, celebrate, and promote the cultural significance of these salt-making traditions. [[Burgundie]] recognizes the potential of ''poro ruru'' and ''abe shippo'' as unique and sought-after culinary delicacies. The salts are strategically integrated into the tourism sector, attracting visitors interested in experiencing and purchasing these rare artisanal products. The [[Granquai Restaurant Chain]], featuring elements of [[Oyashima]]ne cuisine, has become a key partner in promoting these salts, further driving their conservation.
 
While [[Burgundie]]'s initiatives have made significant strides in the conservation of artisanal salt-making, challenges persist. The time-consuming nature of traditional methods, coupled with competition from mass-produced alternatives, poses ongoing difficulties. However, [[Burgundie]] remains committed to addressing these challenges, exploring innovative solutions, and fostering sustainable practices for the long-term preservation of this cultural heritage.
