Experienced or new seaweed farmers in Turkey or nearby region
-
Hi i am Jeet Indian new to the community of sea weed farmers i come from the buisness devlopment consulting background and have had interest in seaweed since few years trying to learn optimum opportunities for development of this new industry in the Mediterranean region. I have travelled across 15 countries assisting filming documentaries based on low income to Middle class people facing geopolitical, economical and financial situations and my visit through Turkey made me realise of the huge untapped potential with not even a single local farmer working on seaweed. I am aware of the future trend and have had seaweed based products from food to cosmetics which generated my interest in it ( especially when it can be used as a healthy snacks instead of patato chips). looking forward to meet and connect with like minded people to develop the network and understand how we can build local Turkish fishing communities into seaweed farms with the innovative solutions from India and USA.
@jeet_mange77 Hi Jeet. There have been some similar inquiries for partnerships in the Mediterranean region. You might check out these posts from folks in Lebanon and Greece. I also believe there is a company processing seaweed in Israel. Good luck!
