Abstract


Abstract. Pangkep District is one of the provinces in South Sulawesi, which produces many Eucheuma cottonii seaweed. The coastal communities, mostly fishermen, cultivate this type of seaweed almost along Pangkep District's coast. Seaweed has a relatively short cultivation cycle, and relatively small business capital requirements can provide opportunities for household entrepreneurs to cultivate seaweed. This study aimed to determine seaweed farming's feasibility in Pitue Village, Ma'rang Subdistrict, Pangkep District. This study's sampling method was a simple random sampling method, with the number of respondent farmers as many as 40. Methods of data collection are done using observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used analyzes income and business feasibility with the R/C ratio analysis tool. The results showed that seaweed farming was feasible and profitable to operate. The average income obtained by farmers for one harvest was IDR 3,358,384, with 1.43 income from the production costs incurred.
