The article deals with the development of the artisanal salt industry in the Soviet Far East in the 1920s. Before the revolution, the Chinese and Koreans obtained salt by the evaporation from seawater but this industry could not cover the requirements of the population and fisheries of the Far East. After the establishment of the Soviet power, there were difficulties in supplying the region with salt, import did not satisfied the need of the domestic market, so the artisanal salt production received a new impetus for its development. The dynamics of the volume of salt production, the prospects for the further development of the artisanal salt industry, as well as the regulation of this type of economic activity by the state are revealed.
