ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic has become a problem for the community so that efforts need to be made to increase income for the community. In facing the global crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic, business actors (both large and small and medium enterprises) can survive by taking advantage of existing opportunities. One of the efforts made is community empowerment in Senggreng Village, Sumber Pucung District, Malang Regency as one of the villages in the tilapia fish farming area. Community empowerment is carried out with several stages, starting from strengthening the community, visiting the community, conducting training, and mentoring. The processed tilapia fish produced are creamy tilapia curry and tilapia nuggets. The impact of this activity is to increase knowledge, business motivation, and market networks to increase the income for the fish processing community. Moreover, this activity also creates processed food products made from tilapia fish in Malang Regency.
