Abstract
This paper examines the production of seaweed Eucheuma cottonii sp as a major fishery commodity which produces carrageenan in supporting poverty eradication. The specific objectives are to determine factors of production in increasing seaweed production and to analyze income generated seaweed farmers in a harvest season. The research employed Multiple Linear Regression Analysis and Income Analysis. The results show that factors affecting the production of seaweed Eucheuma cottoni are long stretch (X1), seed (X2), labor (X3), farmers experience (X4), and the distance tie (X5). Enterprises of seaweed Eucheuma cottonii sp is a business that is able to increase the farmers income. The research suggests that to increase production of seaweed can be done by improving seed quality, labor, long stretch, connective distance and improvement of marketing management.

Poverty is a complex social phenomenon that cannot be seen by one view point meaning many factors associated with poverty itself, internal factor such as household human resource and production factors ownership, and more importantly the impact of external factors such as access to social services and information availability in the community across developing countries (Arsyad and Kawamura, 2009)

Summary
Poverty is a complex social phenomenon that cannot be seen by one view point meaning many factors associated with poverty itself, internal factor such as household human resource and production factors ownership, and more importantly the impact of external factors such as access to social services and information availability in the community across developing countries (Arsyad and Kawamura, 2009). It is important to note (Zamroni & Yamao, 2011) that, the reasons fishermen choose seaweed farming as an alternative livelihood is its introduction by the government through livelihood and income augmentation projects that aim to improve the general economies of coastal communities. Seaweed farming is frequently promoted as a lucrative alternative occupation for artisanal fishers in Southeast Asia (Nicolas et al, 2011) by improving communication pattern of seaweed farmers and extension services to enhance agricultural-aquaculture developments (Ekasari et al, 2013). Land production factors are described by Mubyarto (1994) in improving production is determined by the level of soil fertility in addition to geographical location. Herjanto (2004) states that production and operation activities are associated with the creation of goods and services through the process of transformation of inputs into outputs desired
