Summary

Sulastri, a resident of Dusun Mangiran, has been producing coconut oil for over 30 years as part of a family tradition.

After further distillation, the oil is clarified, and the leftover residue is transformed into a snack called 'ketak.' Sulastri's small operation produces 45 kg of coconut oil and 27 kg of ketak daily. This business not only preserves a traditional craft but also provides local products that can last up to three months.
