Abstract: This study aims to analyze seaweed farming income, identify sources of production and price risks, and determine strategies that farmers can implement to face seaweed farming risks on Lombok Island. The research areas were East Lombok and Central Lombok, selected by purposive sampling. Respondents consisted of 42 people and six key informants consisting of experts in related fields. Data were analyzed using FMEA, SWOT, and QSPM analyses. The results showed that seaweed farming income on Lombok Island during 2024 was an average of Rp. 186,805,693.22. /LLG or an average of Rp . 319,261,001.63 /Ha. The main sources of production and price risks come from production risks, namely climate change/extreme weather and pest and disease attacks. Meanwhile, from the price risk type, the most important risk is low production quality, followed by limited marketing channels and fluctuations in selling prices. Other risks such as seawater pollution and fishing disruptions have a relatively lower impact. The strategy that farmers can implement is a growth-oriented strategy (aggressive strategy). Strategies that utilize strengths and opportunities consist of four alternative strategies. The main priority strategy for dealing with seaweed farming risks on Lombok Island is the use of digital media. Other strategies include collaboration through farmer groups, regular harvest cycles, and expansion of cultivation areas.
Keywords: Seaweed, Risk Source, FMEA, SWOT, QSPM.
