Importers and manufacturers with recurring salt demand can use annual forecasts and periodic call-off orders instead of treating every purchase as a new sourcing event. This can balance capacity visibility with inventory risk.

Separate forecast from firm orders

A 12-month forecast supports planning, but the agreement should identify which portion is legally or commercially firm.

Define a frozen period

A near-term period with limited changes can give the supplier sufficient production certainty.

Align call-offs with logistics units

Pallet, truck or container-based release quantities can simplify execution.

Track forecast accuracy

Comparing forecast demand with actual usage improves safety-stock and capacity-reservation decisions over time.
