Abstract

Kelulut honey farming has emerged as a promising industry in Alor Gajah, Melaka, with the potential to provide sustainable income for local farmers. However, many farmers face significant challenges in financial reporting, which affects their ability to manage their businesses effectively and access financial aid or investment opportunities. This community service project was designed to support Kelulut honey farmers in preparing accurate and structured financial reports, thereby improving their financial literacy and business acumen. The implementation involved a multi-step approach, including workshops, one-on-one guidance, and the development of customized financial templates tailored to the needs of the farmers. The results of the initiative indicated a marked improvement in financial record-keeping practices, increased awareness of financial management, and enhanced ability to secure funding. The project underscores the critical role of financial education in strengthening the sustainability and growth of small-scale agricultural enterprises.
