not fulfili the required quallty standard and iometimes the products cannot be sold in the
international market- Many exptrter companies complain about the quality of dried seaweed that is
sold by the farmers. The main complaint is conceming the water content and impurities which
exceeds the standard quality for export, and caused the price slumped [6].

Material and Methods

This experimental study was executed at Ped village in Nusa Penida Island' The dryer
constructed in the form of table type within 90 cm height. The. stmcture made from lvood or
