Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines Awe salt trading and its economic importance with special focus on the migration patterns of the Mernyang people. It explores how salt production and trade have contributed to local economic development, livelihood sustainability, and cultural interaction. The research also investigates the effects of migration on traditional salt trading systems. Findings reveal that salt trade remains a significant economic activity despite challenges such as modernization and population movement. Recommendations were made to improve production techniques and strengthen local economic structures.
