Training on producing shrimp-flavored crackers from sago flour was conducted for 33 members of the Teluk Rumbia Fisherwomen’s Group. The activity took place on February 27–28, 2024, in Teluk Rumbia Village, Aceh Singkil Regency. Its objective was to enhance the participants’ skills in transforming local resources into marketable products. Teluk Rumbia Village possesses an abundance of sago (or *rumbia*) palms—typically processed into sago flour—allowing the training to focus on converting this flour into a ready-to-eat snack: crackers. In addition to sago palms, the village’s proximity to a river ensures a plentiful supply of river shrimp. Furthermore, participants learned to prepare seasonings derived from shrimp shells, specifically shrimp-shell *abon* (shredded meat/floss) and shrimp-shell stock.
Interestingly, members of the Rumbia Women Fishers group already possess skills in processing various sago-based products (such as sago flatbread, sago *cendol*, and others). Consequently, these positive attributes can be bolstered through group discussions aimed at strengthening their knowledge and capacity, as well as by facilitating the sale of their products beyond Teluk Rumbia Village—potentially even at the national level. To this end, they continue to practice independently to create market-ready products, paving the way for future training in packaging and sales.
