- Abstract
Nunukan Regency is one of the regencies located in North Kalimantan Province which is known as the border area between Indonesia and Malaysia, making this area a center for trade in goods and services, which is quite strategic. This area has enormous potential, not only in agriculture and plantations but also in the marine fisheries sector. The seaweed commodity produced is Eucheuma cottoni. To increase the productivity of seaweed production, the community is enthusiastic about being able to participate in these activities. Based on this, this research was conducted to look at the Role of Women in Handling the Pre-Production of Seaweed at the Indonesian Border. The research method used was purposive sampling with a total sample of 60 people by analyzing descriptive qualitative data. The results showed that the pre-production activities consisted of 42 women and 18 men. This shows that women have a fairly high activity involvement compared to men. The amount of income generated is in the range of IDR 50,000 to IDR 195,000 per day. Some of the additional assets owned from this involvement include gold, motorbikes, cellphones, educational investments, daily needs, and others. So it can be concluded that women have a significant role in the success of seaweed production activities and are able to increase economic income and assets owned.
