Abstract

Training on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and packaging technology for seaweed-based processed products was conducted in Paremas Village, East Lombok Regency, as a collaborative initiative between the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and the University of Mataram. This activity aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of coastal communities, particularly women, to encourage them to become prospective micro-entrepreneurs in producing safe, high-quality, and competitive food products. Through presentations and hands-on practice, participants were introduced to CPPOB principles, Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs), simple packaging techniques using basic tools, and product labeling in accordance with PIRT standards and food safety regulations. The activity results showed a significant improvement in participants' ability to apply sanitation principles and to produce attractively packaged, informative products. This training serves as an initial step to empower coastal women to establish seaweed-based, legal, hygienic, and competitive microenterprises for both local and national markets.
