The research results show a significant positive relationship between funding sources and salt production efficiency. This can be seen from the regression coefficient of 0.101 with a p-value <0.05, which shows that the better the access to funding sources, the more efficient the salt production process will be. These findings emphasize the importance of the availability and accessibility of funding sources to increase production efficiency in the salt sector.
