Enhancement Plan for Laver Aquaculture

Laver aquaculture has caused post-harvesting problems such as aggravation of fisheries environment by using inorganic acid in accordance with policies accentuating production increase. These problems resulted in reducing the consumption of laver. Therefore, prior to establishing development plans for laver aquaculture, improvement plans have been described after the analysis of problems concerning the treatment of inorganic acid. While solving this fundamental problem, methods to revitalize the consumption of laver has been drawn in terms of processing, distribution and export. The most important point regarding the solution of the inorganic acid problem is the establishment of an autonomous collective management system through joint-harvesting. And for this, we have considered founding a Unlon of Laver Aquaculture Associations between the associations which cultivate laver. Finally, the establishment of processing and distribution strategies by organizing national campaigns around the 「Day of the Sea」, opening, community bazaars, and differentiating purchasers as well as applications of the product, have been proposed. Also, the enlargement of domestic consumers by utilizing e-commerce through the construction of portal service on the Internet has been underlined and the diversification of markets by employing marketihg strategies which try to reach foreign consumers directly has been presented.
