KWT "Bengke Sakato" has long been engaged in having a Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) production business, because in addition to the natural products where KWT is domiciled abundantly with coconut trees, this group has also been given training on how to make VCO. This VCO production waste has not been maximized, even though the waste such as coconut husk can be used as cocopeat and cocofiber, and shells can be used as charcoal, bags and tiles or tiles. The method used has several stages, namely Socialization, Workshop, Monitoring and Evaluation as well as mentoring.
