Abstract

Mororejo Village, Kendal Regency, has abundant seaweed potential, but it yields low economic value (IDR 3,000/kg) as it is sold raw. The partner, BUMDes "Moro Berkah", also faces challenges with manual bookkeeping and limited local marketing. This Community Service (PkM) program aims to increase the economic value of seaweed, digitalise financial records, and expand the market through appropriate technology transfer. Methods included providing a seaweed milling machine (disk mill), drafting hygienic production SOPs, training in Microsoft Excel-based bookkeeping, and implementing digital marketing strategies. The results show a significant increase in the partner's capacity. The team successfully transformed raw dried seaweed into high-quality powder, boosting the selling price from IDR 3,000/kg to IDR 85,000/kg. Financial digitalisation helps BUMDes managers handle cash flow transparently and accurately. Furthermore, digital marketing training strengthens product branding and reduces dependence on middlemen by expanding online market access.
