Abstract

Purpose: To improve production efficiency and quality of dodol (sweet potato cracker), crackers, and seaweed sticks at the IRT Aisyiah Alak Kupang household through the adoption of innovative mixers and cutting machines. Methodology/Approach: The study was conducted at the IRT Aisyiah Alak Kupang with mixers and cutting machines sourced from Maksindo Surabaya. Methods included field surveys, machine operation training, technical assistance, and production evaluation. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using simple production analysis software and the participatory rural appraisal approach. Results/Findings: Dodol production capacity increased from 3 kg to 6 kg per week, and crackers and seaweed sticks from 2 kg to 4 kg per week, respectively. Production time decreased by about 50%, partner income doubled, and marketing reach expanded through digital platforms and branding development. Conclusions: The community empowerment program at IRT Aisyiah Alak Kupang successfully enhanced efficiency, capacity, and quality of dodol and seaweed sticks. The implementation of mixing and cutting machines, together with digital marketing, improved partner income and business sustainability. Ongoing mentoring is provided, and the development of supporting equipment, such as modern drying tools, is recommended for further study to strengthen program outcomes. Limitations: Testing was limited to a single partner location and did not extensively explore various machine types or digital marketing techniques. Contributions: The study contributes to the development of appropriate technology for local food processing, particularly in the seaweed industry of East Nusa Tenggara, and strengthens community economic empowerment while preserving local wisdom.

Abstract

Purpose: This community service program is designed to increase the quantity and quality of pure coconut oil production. through a partnership with Mitra Mina Malole. Methodology/approach: A participatory approach is implemented through training on VCO fermentation technology, mentoring on the use of appropriate tools, and regular implementation evaluations. The implementation team, comprising lecturers and students, collaborates directly with the partner community to transfer technology and monitor production outcomes. Results/findings: The community service program demonstrated an increase in production capacity, from 10–13 bottles per day to 20–25 bottles in 100 mL packaging, as well as improved product quality, resulting in a more hygienic and high-quality product. The product has obtained a P-IRT label and permit, and marketing has begun to expand, contributing to increased income and welfare for the local community. Conclutions: Community partnerships through appropriate technology and training have successfully improved the quality and production capacity of Virgin Coconut Oil in Ingguinak Village, increased family income, strengthened local business institutions, and expanded market access with more competitive and hygienic products. Limitations: The limited time for implementation means that ongoing support is still very much needed. Limited access to logistics and infrastructure in remote areas means that product distribution is not yet optimal. Contribution: This Program provides tangible socio-economic impacts for coconut farming communities. This program's recommendations can serve as a reference for developing broader community service policies and practices, supporting sustainable development, and strengthening local natural resource-based community economies.
