Making terasi. Two of the focus villages I was working with produced this shrimp paste, which is used in sambal, or chili sauce. The shrimps are dried (as in the picture above), then ground up with garlic, salt, and other seasonings. Then the paste is molded using cut pieces of PVC pipe. The pieces of terasi are then dried, packaged, and sent all over the region.
