Indonesia is the world's largest seaweed exporter country [1]. However, Indonesia exports raw seaweed higher than processed ones. It makes the export value lower than other countries [2]. Indonesia can increase the export value through increase level participation of the community in seaweed processing. This study aims to analyze the level of community participation in seaweed processing in Indonesia, especially on Madura Island as one of the biggest seaweeds producing regions in Indonesia. The study uses descriptive method. The results show that the level of community participation in seaweed processing is categorized in manipulation level or low level. In order to increase community participation, collaboration of all relevant parties, namely government, academia and the private sectorare is needed to support the improvement of the community's ability to add value to seaweed.
