Limited agricultural land and underutilized organic materials remain important challenges for coastal communities in dryland areas. This community service program aimed to strengthen community capacity through the production and application of bokashi fertilizer in Mata Air Village, Kupang Regency, Indonesia. The program was conducted from July to August 2026 in collaboration with the Cemara Sea Turtle Conservation Community Group and involved 35 participants. A participatory community empowerment approach was applied through instruction, demonstration, hands-on practice, technical assistance, product development, and evaluation. Participants’ familiarity with bokashi was assessed orally before and after training using a show-of-hands response, while practical involvement was evaluated through direct observation. Before the activity, 17 of 35 participants (48.6%) were familiar with the basic concept of bokashi, and none had previous hands-on production experience. After training, all 35 participants reported familiarity with bokashi and participated directly in group-based production. The program produced an estimated 3 tons of bokashi, including 100 labelled 10-kg packages. Laboratory analysis showed 35.68% organic carbon, 2.22% total nitrogen, 1.21% P?O?, 1.01% K?O, a pH of 6.81, and a C/N ratio of 16.1. The estimated direct cash cost was approximately IDR 8,997 per 10-kg package, excluding labour and depreciation of reusable assets, while an introductory selling price of IDR 15,000–20,000 was proposed. The program increased participants’ familiarity and practical exposure to bokashi production and established an initial basis for continued community-based production and value-added product development. Further evaluation is required to assess production continuity, economic performance, and the effects of bokashi application on soil properties and crop productivity.
