  2. SIAP is an association composed of processors/exporters, traders and farmers groups. It plays a big role in marketing farmers’ produce, traders and exporters/processors.

  3. Major problems in marketing of the industry are non-trade barriers imposed by CODEX on food and food additives. • SIAP plays a big role in solving these problems by cooperating with international seaweed associations like MARINALG and the International Seaweed Association. SIAP is also active in strengthening the ASEAN CAREGEENAN INDUSTRY CLUB.

  4. SIAP coordinates and has good working relations with government agencies involved in promoting seaweed both in production and marketing. • For the Asian countries, there is a need to review the importation of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other related companies of caregeenan from Europe and USA for their products.

  5. There is a need for these industries to communicate with their respective governments on their need for carageenan. The Philippines, being the leader for Asia on carageenan/seaweed is happy to coordinate with them through government and work on their needs for carageenan • As to quality standards, the SIAP conducts regular monitoring on quality needs of the markets and disseminate it to all makers for strict compliance.
