Abstract

Cash control is a critical component of financial stability, particularly for small enterprises in the building materials sector that manage high volumes of cash transactions. This community engagement activity aims to enhance business owners’ understanding of cash control through a field study and a practical education program. The methods included initial observation, development of educational materials, direct training sessions, and evaluation with follow-up actions. The results indicate a significant improvement in financial management awareness, evidenced by the adoption of daily transaction recording and the separation of personal and business cash. Practice-based education proved effective in building awareness, strengthening basic financial recording skills, and improving cash governance in small enterprises. These findings provide a foundation for designing similar financial literacy programs for the broader MSME sector.

Abstract

The coastal community of Laikang Village, Takalar Regency, particularly the Pandala Berkah Seaweed Cultivators Group, faces serious challenges in the post-harvest stage. The conventional sun-drying method causes significant product quality degradation, especially during rainy seasons—with drying delays of up to 3–4 days causing discoloration, mold growth, and quality decline. As a result, selling prices of dried seaweed are only IDR 7,000–8,000/kg, far below the industrial market price of IDR 12,000–14,000/kg. This community service activity aims to optimize post-harvest processes through training on the use of a semi-enclosed solar energy dryer (solar dryer) as a blue economy implementation strategy in coastal areas. The implementation method includes socialization through Focus Group Discussion (FGD), technical and managerial training, participatory equipment assembly, and intensive field mentoring. The dryer with a capacity of 30–70 kg per cycle was designed with an indirect heating system based on polycarbonate materials, capable of achieving a stable temperature of 40–55°C without additional heat sources. Results show that 80% of participants understood hygienic drying techniques and temperature control, community participation reached 85%, and a local product identity "Rumput Laut Kering Pandala Berkah" with food-grade packaging was established. This program contributes to increased product added value, drying time efficiency from 2–3 days to 8–10 hours, and supports the blue economy concept based on sustainable coastal community empowerment in alignment with SDG 8 and SDG 14.
