BUILDING VILLAGES WITH PROCESSED STINGRAY SKIN CHIPS (A Case Study of Keraton Village)

While Stingrays have been the subject of numerous studies, none have systematically investigated the processing of stingray skin into crackers in an effort to improve the economy of villagers. The processing of stingrays based on this research, which is framed within the concept of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises as a way of utilizing natural resources, proposes a case study design to improve the economy of local villagers. The investigative approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data sources come from observations of MSMEs as well as interviews with MSME business owners of Pari Fish Chips as respondents. The community service program was carried out on March 19, 2025 at one of the UMKM places in Keraton Village, Suranenggala District, Cirebon City, West Java Province. This training process is carried out by introducing stingray skin raw materials, how to process them, packaging, and sales which are carried out both online and offline. This service program was welcomed by residents enthusiastically and provided suggestions for further service activities with different raw materials but still with the concept of utilizing the same natural resources.
