This community service program is formed and aims to provide training on making virgin coconut oil (VCO) and its derivative product namely soap. The first method used in the program was counseling, and the second was training. This community service activity targeted the Women Farmers group and the Women's Family Welfare Empowerment group. This community service program was carried out on March 5, 2023, and was attended by 17 representatives from both groups. Participants were very excited because they gained new knowledge about making VCO coconut oil without heating, which they perceived as very easy and profitable. Furthermore, it was energy efficient.
