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. 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.

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.
