Located in Kelurahan Belawan I, Kecamatan Medan Belawan, Kampung Nelayan Lingkungan XII is a
coastal area where the community primarily engages in fishing, boat rental services, and producing shrimp paste
(terasi) from small shrimp (udang rebon). Observations and discussions with Kelompok Usaha Lestari, a local group
dedicated to shrimp paste production, revealed that traditional methods, such as using mortars and pestles, are still
prevalent. This manual process significantly limits production capacity and results in inconsistent product quality that
deteriorates quickly over time. This Community Partnership Program (PKM) aims to address these issues by
improving production efficiency and enhancing product quality through the integration of appropriate technology.
The initiative includes the provision of a grinding machine tailored for processing small shrimp, training on product
standardization, and continuous guidance to ensure effective use of the technology. The implementation of this
technological solution has proven effective in increasing production capacity and ensuring higher consistency and
quality of the shrimp paste. These improvements enable Kelompok Usaha Lestari to compete more effectively in the
market and contribute to their long-term economic sustainability.
