Abstract. The Community Partnership Program in the Training to Improve
the "Tandusan" Traditional Coconut Oil Processing Process was conducted at
the Sari Guna Mertha Business Study Group, Banjar Telugtug, Carangsari
Village, Petang Sub-district, Badung Regency. This study aims to provide
appropriate technology for the diversification of agricultural products such as
coconut which is widely available in Carangsari Village. The product has the
potential to become Tandusan coconut oil for cooking and consumption. In
training with direct practice, it provides additional material on entrepreneurship
knowledge, business management, sanitation and hygiene, packaging and
marketing. Therefore, participants are able to properly manage their businesses.
The methods used in implementing this training are face-to-face interviews,
counseling and direct practice. The activities were carried out in stages by
monitoring and evaluating the activities to guarantee sucess. Firstly, it was
carried out by counseling the appropriate technology for processing coconut into
tandusan traditional oil, with the manufacturing process modified, and sanitized
with proper processing hygiene for adequate business management, marketing
and entrepreneurship. At the first meeting, all participants are given a learning
module that needs to be understood before the processing technique is carried
out, thereby, making it easier to monitor each instruction. Secondly, a direct
training/practice on making tandusan coconut oil products is carried out
efficiently. Subsequently, evaluation and repetition are conducted until the
participants truly master the technology and are able to eaasily make products
independently and in groups. Thirdly, regular assistance is provided to motivate
newly started businesses. The results showed that the participants have been
able to independently manufacture efficient and better quality tandusan coconut
oil products that, understand entrepreneurial knowledge and marketing
management, thereby, making them economically independent. Furthermore,
activities are also documented in the form of photos and videos and published in
journal articles.
