This community service program aims to empower the economy of the residents of Meruya Selatan Village, West Jakarta, through training in processing catfish into shredded fish. This activity is designed to address the issues of low income and lack of food processing skills among the local PKK mothers. Through a series of training and mentoring sessions, this program will equip participants with skills in producing high-quality catfish floss, preservation techniques, packaging, and effective marketing strategies. The implementation methods include initial surveys, intensive training, hands-on practice, and continuous monitoring. Other targets include improving the knowledge and skills of participants, as well as expanding the marketing reach of catfish floss products. By utilizing local potential and appropriate technology, it is hoped that this program can increase family income, strengthen food security, and encourage local economic growth in Meruya Selatan Village. The conclusion of the Joint Community program will involve a discussion, a session for questions and answers, and the collection of completed questionnaires from participants. The outcomes of the PKM activities will be published in the form of mass media, articles, and journal publications.

Future Research

Based on the programs success, future research could explore the development of diverse catfish-based products to cater to wider consumer preferences, potentially including flavored floss variations or catfish-based snacks. Furthermore, a study investigating the optimal marketing strategies for catfish floss, considering both online and offline channels, could significantly enhance product reach and sales. Finally, research focusing on the long-term sustainability of the community-based catfish processing initiative, including assessing the impact of scaling up production and establishing cooperative structures, would be valuable for ensuring continued economic benefits for the Meruya Selatan community. These investigations, building upon the current program, will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how to leverage local resources for sustainable economic development and food security, ultimately empowering communities to thrive through innovative and locally-driven initiatives. The programs success highlights the potential for similar interventions in other regions facing similar economic challenges, and further research could explore the replicability and adaptability of this model in diverse contexts.
