Serdang Wetan village still has several problems, where the level of education is still low, as well as the type of business of the village community which is focused only on the culinary business. The human capital has very limited skills besides local food and beverage production. Thus, it is shown the importance of encouraging job creation in the village through e-commerce media. In this digital world, people are more likely to shop using online media. E-commerce can open up even greater business opportunities, both for culinary businesses and other MSMEs. The training provided is in the form of an introduction to online business (e-commerce) with a focus on social commerce or selling using social media, to tips and tricks for selling using e-commerce.

Abstract

The Good Processed Food Production Method (CCPOB) or Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is a guideline used in every processing activity of small and large industries in order to produce products that are of good quality, safe, and suitable for consumption. Along with the increasing growth of processed food MSMEs in Indonesia, many business actors still pay less attention to food safety in producing a product. One of them is that business actors have not implemented the Good Processed Food Production Method (CPPOB) in accordance with the standards. Therefore, assistance is needed for MSMEs Dapoer Ikan Diana in implementing CPPOB in production facilities and preparing requirements for fulfilling the MD product distribution permit. This community service activity is implemented through several stages: data collection, assistance, monitoring, and evaluation. Based on the results of this community service activity, the application of CPPOB in the production facilities of MSMEs Dapoer Ikan Diana has met the standards. This allows MSMEs to apply for the issuance of MD product distribution permits.
