Seaweed is a significant economic product that should be promoted. A transparent trading system, which is intended to support the growth and development of seaweed production on a greater scale, is one of the main criteria for providing stronger value to cultivators. This is a benefit that the Indonesian people, in general, can take advantage of to their fullest potential. In June 2021, a survey will be conducted in Alor Regency, Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, to map market potential and market chains. Seaweed farmers and traders interested in seaweed marketing made up the study’s population. The sampling method used the snowball sampling method, namely the first level sampling, in this case, was seaweed farmers determined by simple random sampling, while the next sample, in this case, was traders determined by farmers where farmer s who had selected are identified (excavated data). The goal of doing a market chain research and business strategy for seaweed commodities is to have a more complete picture of the potential, obstacles, and restrictions of developing seaweed production in the Alor Regency. Based on observations and interviews with farmers, it appears that the seaweed marketing chain begins with producers as seaweed farmers, followed by middleman traders (village collectors), i. e. traders who buy directly from village farmers. Also, there are inter-island collectors/collectors (PAP), who are traders who purchase seaweed from middlemen/seaweed collector traders and also farmers, most of whom are based in Alor, the sub-district capital. Collector traders have a great deal of money, so they can keep seaweed temporarily as they wait for a reasonable price or a better price.
Abstrak: Kebiasaan pembudidaya rumput laut di Desa Allumang, Kec. Pantar Barat Laut, Kabupaten Alor, Prop. NTT melakukan teknik pengeringan rumput laut melalui metode penjemuran di atas terpal atau waring yang digelar diatas tanah atau pasir. Metode ini mempunyai kekurangan karena produk rumput laut dapat terkontaminasi dengan debu dan kandungan air yang tinggi serta tidak merata dan waktu penjemuran yang lama dapat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan mikro organisme seperti kapang dan dan jamur, kondisi ini berdampak pada penurunan kualitas. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan serta pemahaman pembudidaya rumput laut yang berdomisili di Desa Allumang mengenai manfaat penggunaan metode penjemuran para-para dalam proses pengeringan rumput laut untuk mendapatkan produk rumput laut yang mempunya kualitas sesuai permintaan pasar. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat, dilakukan dalam beberapa tahapan antara lain: (1) Tahap Persiapan; (2) tahap pelaksanaan kegiatan; (3) tahap evaluasi. Pelakasanaan kegiatan penyuluhan ini dikatakan berhasil secara signifikan yaitu 100% oleh karena secara psikologis terlihat adanya perubahan pola pikir pembudidaya mengenai teknik pengeringan rumput laut melalui metode penjemuran di atas para-para karena berkorelasi dengan kualitas rumput laut yang dihasilkan. Selanjutnya untuk lebih meyakinkan pemahaman pembudidaya rumput laut dilakukan kegiatan pembuatan para-para dilokasi budidaya sebagai contoh.Abstract: Habits of seaweed cultivators in Allumang Village, Kec. Northwest Pantar, Alor Regency, Prop. NTT uses the technique of drying seaweed through the drying method on a tarp or waring which is held on the ground or sand. This method has drawbacks because seaweed products can be contaminated with dust and high and uneven water content and long drying times can affect the growth of micro-organisms such as molds and fungi, conditions have an impact on quality degradation. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to increase knowledge and understanding of seaweed farmers who live in Allumang Village regarding the benefits of using the para-para drying method in the seaweed drying process to obtain quality seaweed products according to market demand. The method of implementing community service activities is carried out in several stages, including: (1) Preparation Phase; (2) activity implementation stage; (3) evaluation stage. The implementation of this outreach activity was said to be significantly successful, namely 100% because psychologically it was seen that there was a change in the mindset of farmers regarding the technique of drying seaweed through the drying method on a parapet because it correlated with the quality of the seaweed produced. Furthermore, to further ensure the understanding of seaweed cultivators, para-para-making activities were carried out at the cultivation location as an example.
