Small farmers and fishermen in Brgy. Carapdapan, a coastal community in Salcedo, Eastern Samar have found that there is another way to earn income from seaweeds aside from drying them for carrageenan production.
They had been primarily producing only dried seaweeds from this crop until they have learned three years ago that it could be processed into pickle or achara, which fetches a higher price in the market.
