Strategies To Increase The Quantity And Quality Of Green Mussel Crackers

Abstract

The work of traditional fishermen is highly dependent on the weather, which sometimes makes it impossible to go to sea. If this happens, it is difficult for the fishermen's families to fulfill their needs. To be able to help the economy of fishermen's families, a group of fishermen's wives tried to develop food products whose raw materials are easily available in the area. The food produced is green mussel (Perna Viridis) crackers. However, because the production process is still very conventional, the production of green mussel crackers is also still very limited both in quantity and quality. To be able to help develop the green mussel cracker business, assistance is given in the form of production equipment, improved packaging and brand labeling, as well as processing PIRT (Home Industry Production Licensing).
