Wooden fish (Keumamah) is made from tuna fish. It is one of the characteristic main commodities from Aceh Province where it is bordered by two major oceans of the world, the Indian Ocean and the Malacca Strait.

However, wooden fish have not been able to provide a wider economic improvement impact on the surrounding community, especially the lampulo coastal area which incidentally as a fisherman. So there needs to be an increase in the economy for home-scale entrepreneurs in Aceh province. Development of fish processing equipment shaped like cupboards, sturdy, sleek, and ergonomic combined with packaging design, sales techniques and marketing management and entrepreneurship for small business groups in lampulo-Banda Aceh. The development of fish processing equipment shaped like cupboards, sturdy, sleek, and ergonomic combined with sales and marketing management techniques and entrepreneurship for these small business groups will develop tuna fish products that can be processed with various types of culinary food such as: fish nuggets, crackers fish, fish balls, and kemamah. The problem can be solved when fish processing methods emerge to become a variety of culinary, with higher production capacity to the community about good and right fish processing.
