<![CDATA[Abstract: This community service initiative aims to enhance the economic value and competitiveness of the POKDAKAN Tani Makmur fish farmer group in Asahan Regency through catfish product diversification and digital marketing. The main problems identified include dependency on fresh fish sales and reliance on middlemen for distribution. The proposed solutions involve training on producing three processed products (nuggets, meatballs, and catfish chips), vacuum packaging techniques, and E-CRM-based marketing via WhatsApp Business and TikTok Shop. The program was implemented in five stages: socialization, technical training, technology application, mentoring and evaluation, and program sustainability. Initial results showed a 8 kg/day increase in processed product output, the activation of three online marketing platforms, and the development of a digital point-based customer loyalty system. The outcomes indicate that a technology-driven and participatory training approach can increase income, expand market reach, and support the digital transformation of community-based aquaculture businesses. This activity supports several SDGs, particularly food security, poverty alleviation, and inclusive economic growth. Keyword: catfish; digital marketing; E-CRM; product diversification; MSMEs.
