Pemberdayaan Masyarakat melalui Alih Teknologi Pembuatan Makanan Berbasis Ikan Di Desa Bokor Kepulauan Meranti

Abstract

In an effort that the cadres of Family Welfare Empowerment or PKK in Bokor Village of Meranti Islands get skills in fish-based food processing and able to open independent businesses, community service activities in the form of counseling and training have been carried out. The development of Bokor Village as one of the ecotourism areas in the Meranti Islands needs to be followed by activities that can provide an increase in the welfare of the surrounding community. Bokor village is also one of the producers of fish from the sea. Through this counseling and training activities, it is also hoped that when fish production is abundant, diversification efforts can be made by processing them into various processed products made from fish, especially snacks that have economic value and high nutritional value. The implementation of the counseling and training activities received good reception from the village community, especially PKK cadres and the Village Head. Beside counseling and training activities, the PKK group was also given assistance with equipment to produce the types of food taught in the training in the hope that the participants would be able to empower their groups to open a small business in making fish-based food products. The village head is very supportive to the activities carried out and will provide wider assistance for the development of the resulting production and hopes that other forms of training can be provided to improve the economy of the village community, especially in the fisheries and ecotourism sectors.
