Abstract

Southwest Maluku, particularly Kisar Island, has abundant natural resources that can be optimally managed to address food shortages. Meeting food needs through local wisdom is an essential capital that must be strengthened by both the government and the community. One of the island’s local potentials is the koli tree (Borassus flabellifer L.), which grows widely in Oirata Village. Its sap can be processed into koli palm sugar, which is highly nutritious and economically valuable. Unlike other sugar sources, the koli tree grows naturally without cultivation and can be tapped at any time. However, its production has not yet been properly managed to meet market demand. Through the Community Partnership Program, we introduced appropriate technology in the form of palm sugar cooking equipment to improve both the quality and quantity of koli palm sugar. This innovation is expected to expand its market beyond Kisar Island. The program includes community socialization, training on equipment use, production assistance, and product packaging with proper labeling, aiming to empower the people of Oirata Village and enhance their local enterprises.

Abstract

West Seram Regency has a coconut plantation area of 8,326.10 hectares, with a total production of 7,390.5 tons and an average productivity of 0.89 tons per hectare. Nearly all parts of the coconut plant can be utilized, including the trunk, leaves, fruit, husk, and shell. The use of mature coconuts for copra production is one of the ways to increase the income of coastal communities, particularly in Saweli Village, located in West Seram Regency. However, copra production in Saweli Village, which is generally carried out using traditional or home-industry methods, has not yet reached optimal results in terms of production time and output quantity. One of the main challenges faced by the community is the lengthy process of removing the coconut husk and shell during copra production. The current pre-processing stage remains conventional, as coconuts are peeled manually using traditional tools. Therefore, through this Community Empowerment Program (PMS), we aim to introduce transformative learning to help develop and empower the local community, particularly in Saweli Village, Taniwel District, West Seram Regency, Maluku. This initiative focuses on supporting small-scale entrepreneurs whose production processes have not yet met market standards.
