Coconut is widely used for various kinds of product offerings. Coconut is usually used as cooking ingredients, making oil and so on. Processes from coconuts are also widely found because coconuts are needed every day. Apart from being used to make various types of food, coconut can also be made into crunchy snacks, namely coconut chips. Coconut chips are an interesting preparation made from coconut. The coconut flavor on these coconut chips is crispy and delicious, perfect for snacking. Processed coconut that is made into chips is also in great demand, for this reason, the coconut chip business opportunity is worth considering, for the people in Teluk Jira Village, because there are many coconut farmers in the Jira Bay area. Apart from being used as a snack, coconut chips can also be one of the products of micro, small and medium enterprises which the author has practiced with PKK mothers and sold them to improve the economy of the people in Teluk Jira village, Tempuling District, Indragiri Hilir Regency. Given the economic conditions of the people who are experiencing a downturn after Covid 19. And coconut farmers can process their coconuts into a product, namely coconut chips, in order to increase the selling price of coconuts. This is one of the efforts to improve the community's economy, especially coconut farmers. This is because coconut chips are still foreign to society, because coconut chips have not been widely marketed. So this is an opportunity for farmers to process their coconut into coconut chips.

Selain dapat sebagai camilan, keripik kelapa juga dapat menjadi salah satu produk usaha mikro kecil menengah yang telah penulis praktekkan dengan ibu PKK dan telah dilakukan penjualan, guna peningkatan perekonomian masayarakat di desa Teluk Jira, Kecamatan Tempuling, Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir. Mengingat kondisi perekonomian masyarakat yang mengalami keterpurukkan pasca covid 19. Dan para petani kelapa dapat mengolah kelapanya menjadi suatu produk yaitu keripik kelapa, agar meningkatkan harga jual kelapa. Hal tersebut menjadi salah satu upaya perbaikan perekonomian masyarakat khususnya petani kelapa.
