Abstract

The Caribbean region, despite its abundance of tropical agricultural commodities such as mangoes, continues to face challenges in product diversification and value-added processing. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen the productive capacity and economic empowerment of Caribbean communities—particularly small-scale farmers, agroindustry actors, and homemakers—through mango-based product development. Implemented by Politeknik ATI Padang in collaboration with the Non-Aligned Movement Center for South-South Technical Cooperation (NAM-CSSTC), the program was conducted virtually over two days in May 2025 using an integrated explicit–tacit knowledge transfer approach. Explicit knowledge was delivered through structured digital materials and video-based instruction, while tacit knowledge was reinforced through experiential learning, practical assignments, and interactive discussions. A total of 297 participants enrolled for the program, with 30 participants actively engaging through Zoom sessions and 267 participants accessing the training via YouTube livestreaming. The primary outcomes of the program included measurable improvements in participants’ technical competence, production readiness, and sustainability awareness. Evaluation results showed an increase in participants’ average scores from 84.4 (pre-test) to 89.2 (post-test), indicating enhanced understanding of mango jelly processing, packaging, waste utilization, and basic business planning. Moreover, participants successfully demonstrated their ability to independently produce mango jelly and apply organic waste management practices using mango peel residues. Beyond skill acquisition, the program fostered entrepreneurial motivation and promoted the adoption of circular economy principles at the community level. These findings highlight the effectiveness of virtual community empowerment initiatives in achieving tangible capacity-building outcomes and supporting sustainable, resource-based economic development across geographically dispersed regions.

Abstract

The palm oil industry plays a strategic role in supporting economic growth in Indonesia, particularly in regions such as West Sumatra. However, the rapid expansion of palm oil processing activities has also generated serious environmental challenges, including liquid, solid, and gas waste that may negatively affect ecosystems if not managed properly. Therefore, environmentally friendly practices have become increasingly important to support sustainable industrial development and encourage the production of green products. This study aims to analyze the role of environmentally friendly practices in the palm oil industry in encouraging green product production in West Sumatra. The research employed a qualitative approach by collecting data through interviews, observations, documentation studies, and literature reviews related to sustainable palm oil management. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis to identify patterns and relationships between environmental practices and green product development. The findings reveal that the implementation of environmentally friendly practices based on Knowledge Management System (KMS) and ecopreneur principles significantly contributes to environmental sustainability and product competitiveness. Effective waste management, the use of environmentally friendly materials, recycling activities, and eco-labeled product development support the creation of sustainable products with higher market value. In conclusion, environmentally friendly practices not only reduce environmental impacts but also strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of the palm oil industry in West Sumatra.
