Seaweed is actually algae. In
more appetizing words, it's a
nutritious vegetable that
grows in the sea.

4. Recent domestication history:
In 1670, the first cultivation of seaweed started in Japan's
Tokyo.
 Micro algae is a much more recent endeavor
 Seaweed cultivation starts in bangladesh in 2005
Hypnea species of seaweed is being cultivated in tidal
coastline of Nuniyachhara beach

5. Potentials of seaweed Farming:
 Available Costral area
 Numbeer of Sea depanend People
 Source of income and livelihoods of the poor.
 Source of food
 Export earner

6. Potentials of seaweed Farming:
 Stabilizer and/or emulsifier for many food
products
 Pharmacies ingredients
 Easiest farming method
 Cheap to cultivate.
 Cosmetics item

7. Available Coastal area
• The coastline of
Bangladesh is about
710 km long
• continental self
extends over an area
of about 24,800 sq.
na.Miles.

8. Numbeer of Sea depanend People
• 10 million people works in
Sea related field in
Bangladesh
• About 3 million pople
directly depends on sea
resources like catching
fish, pawn, pearl
collecting
• Only salt farming include
1 million people

9. Source of food
•Rakhayin people
eat seaweed as a
part of daily food.
•Dry Kelp is more
nutrias.
•More iron and
calcium then beef.

10. Source of income and livelihoods of the
poor:
.Part time income source
for women
.Education is not
mendatory
.Commercial farming can
support a tribe

11. Stabilizer or emulsifier for food
products
• Seaweed uses as a
stabilizer or
emulsifier for many
food products
• chocolate, biscuits,
salad, Jelly and
Japanize sushi

12. Export earner:
• According to FAO
world Trade of
Seaweed is 25 billion
metric ton and its
price is 6.5 billion
dollars
• Japan produce 2
billion dollars of
seaweed per year.

13. Medicinal ingredients:
•uses to make
capsule cover
•Pathology lab
•Vitamin tablet

14. Easiest farming method
•No fresh water
•No hard lobar
•No Huge invest

15. Cheap to cultivate:
• No Fertilizer
• No Feed
• No pesticidal

16. Makeup item:
• Mac,Huda,Garnieer
use kelp
• Hair oil, shampoo,
cream, lipsticks etc
products are made of
kelp

17. Problems of Farming:
• Lack of information on
seaweed cultivation,
• Lack of technology,
• Socio-economic constraints
and
• Shortage of skilled manpower
for wild seaweed harvesting.
• Lack of Large-scale
commercial seaweed culture
is.

18. Lack of information
Bangladesh Agricultural
Research Institute working on
it.
Already 110 species identified
and research is going on

19. Shortage of skilled manpower
• Farmers are not
seafarer
• No training institute
for kelp farming.
• No Special restaurant
for algae

20. Conclusion:
• Efforts are needed to increase production through improving
harvesting techniques, creation of artificial habitats and
seeding of suitable coastal areas. Seaweed polyculture in
association with mollusk, prawn, shrimp, mud crab and fishes
seems to have good prospects to increase harvest and profits.
Seaweeds with shrimp farming in coastal areas can help to
treat. the effluent water.
