Ulva is considered a good source of nutrition. It contains high amounts of cobalamin, or vitamin B12, which plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the brain and nervous system, as well as the formation of blood. "We have experienced price rise albeit small even before we embark on domestic processing," Dr Masoud said, assuring that after completion of the multi-billion processing plant in Chamanangwe, Pemba, seaweed prices will skyrocket further.
"Seaweed farming is soon becoming the most lucrative business, with ZASCO being among the giant companies in Zanzibar," he said.
