Media interest in lawi-lawi

In conjunction with Indonesian Aquaculture / FITA 2012 conference (see below), Pak Nana and Imran led a contingent of journalists to our field sites in Laikang to brief them on the diversification project activities there. The journalists were from agribusiness print media such as Gatra, Trobus, Agrofarm and Agrina. They went to the swimming crab and Caulerpa trial sites and met the cooperating farmers (Ratte Dg. Bella and Parigi Dg. Bella). The journalists were particularly interested in lawi-lawi (Caulerpa) and its culture.

So far, we’ve found this article online:

but watch out for more articles in the agribusiness media.
