Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Masyarakat melalui Inovasi Produksi VCO Ramah Lingkungan Berbasis Teknologi Tepat Guna

Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to enhance the production capacity and quality of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) in Neuheun Village, Mesjid Raya Subdistrict, Aceh Besar, through the application of environmentally friendly and efficient processing technology. The target group for this activity is the "Kelompok Perempuan Tani Sejahtera," a group of 25 women who have significant potential in utilizing coconuts but are limited by technology and knowledge in VCO processing. This program includes training on hygienic and eco-friendly VCO production techniques, business management development, and improvement of product marketing through digital marketing. Additionally, the solutions provided include the provision of simple production tools. The expected outcomes include the improvement of community skills in VCO production, increased quantity and quality of production, reduction of organic waste, and increased family income through wider market access. This program also supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in poverty alleviation, gender equality, decent work, and sustainable consumption.
