Seaweed is one of the leading commodities that has enormous potential supported by sea area of 5.8 million km2 with a total area of seaweed cultivation reaching 1.110.900 ha (LIPI, 2009). South Sulawesi Province became the main center of seaweed in Indonesia with the largest contribution (29%) in 2016, one of which was in the Takalar Regency. One type of kelp cultured in ponds is Glacilaria sp. Seaweed production is a strategic step at the level of crop development as it involves a high workload, a simple growing technology, a relatively short planting time of about 45 days (fast yield) and relatively cheap production costs. The growing demand for seaweed from year to year does not follow rising production volumes and fluctuating prices. The purpose of this study is to determine the description of the agrifood subsystem and to determine the productivity of the seaweed company Glacilaria sp. in the regency of Takalar. The design of the study uses qualitative and quantitative types of research. The number of samples used was 63 people. The results of this study are looking at the productivity of the seaweed cultivation of Glacilaria sp..The productivity in the Mappakasunggu District is 1,37 while the productivity in the Sanrobone District is 1,43. Good productivity, namely the use of inputs is less than the output results obtained, so that the income of fishermen cultivating seaweed Glacilaria sp. more increasing.
