<![CDATA[Purpose: This community service program was designed to increase the quantity and quality of pure coconut oil production. through a partnership with Mitra Mina Malolo.Research Methodology: A participatory approach was implemented through training on Virgin Coconut Oil (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 the production outcomes. Results: 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. Conclutions: Community partnerships through appropriate technology and training have successfully improved the quality and production capacity of VOC 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 needed. Limited access to logistics and infrastructure in remote areas means that product distribution is not optimal.Contributions: This program extends contemporary Community Empowerment Theory by demonstrating how participatory partnerships and appropriate technology enhance local production capacity, economic independence, and sustainable community development.]]>
