Pengembangan Produk Olahan Ikan Bandeng dan Tahu Bakso sebagai Upaya Meningkatkan Ekonomi Kreatif

Abstract

The optimal utilization of fishery resources represents a strategic opportunity to improve the economic well-being of coastal communities. Bandar Negeri Village, located in Labuhan Maringgai District, East Lampung Regency, holds significant potential in milkfish processing. However, its use has so far been limited to fresh or minimally processed products. This community service activity aims to enhance local residents' skills in processing milkfish into value-added products, namely tofu meatball topping (TOBATO) and fish floss, to increase product value and create new business opportunities. The method used is the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, which focuses on strengthening community capacity through hands-on training and continuous mentoring. The results of the activity show improved participants' skills in milkfish processing, which led to increased product sales value and household income. In the long term, this program is expected to strengthen the village's economic independence and promote the sustainable use of fishery resources.
