The implementation of development in Indonesia is basically a process of humanizing people faced by a number of multidimensional challenges. One of them is the problem of poverty. poverty is a problem that is never resolved from time to time. The national development is realized through economic development, which not only focuses on the physical condition of a region, but the community can participate in a development process that can improve economic welfare through the process of community empowerment. One form of community empowerment is community empowerment in Batu Belubang Village, Bangka Tengah Regency, which is carried out through a community of kritcu makers (processed seafood typical of Bangka Belitung).
