Abstract

Fabric scraps are a type of textile waste whose volume continues to increase along with the development of the fashion industry and the garment industry. The utilization of fabric scraps into useful and economically valuable products is still not optimal, including among students who have entrepreneurial knowledge but lack the practical skills to produce business products. This community service activity aims to improve students' creativity and entrepreneurial skills through training in utilizing fabric scraps into scrunchies. The activity was held on May 12, 2026, in the Muhammadiyah Asahan University Hall, involving 44 members of the Entrepreneurship UKM consisting of students from the Management Study Program and the Accounting Study Program. The methods used included socialization, demonstrations, direct practice, and evaluation. The results of the activity showed that the participants had high enthusiasm during the training. All participants were able to follow the scrunchie-making process and successfully produced products independently from the provided fabric scraps. In addition to improving technical skills in product manufacturing, the training also increased participants' understanding of textile waste management and business opportunities that can be developed from recycled products. The resulting scrunchie products have utility value, aesthetic value, and economic potential, making them an alternative for environmentally-based creative businesses. This activity successfully increased students' creativity and entrepreneurial skills while supporting efforts to reduce textile waste by reusing leftover materials into more valuable products.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the readiness of farmers and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) for medicinal plant-based business development in Kabupaten Asahan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive design was employed involving 150 respondents, consisting of 90 farmers and 60 MSME actors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, field observations, and brief interviews. Farmer readiness was measured through land availability, cultivation knowledge, production resources, post-harvest capability, market access, financing, and willingness to collaborate. MSME readiness was assessed through raw-material availability, production capability, technology adoption, product innovation, financial management, licensing, packaging, marketing, and partnership readiness. Data were analysed using frequencies, percentages, mean scores, standard deviations, and a readiness index. The results showed that farmers achieved an average readiness score of 3.47 with a readiness index of 69.4%, while MSMEs obtained an average score of 3.39 with a readiness index of 67.8%. The combined readiness index reached 68.6%, indicating that both groups were generally ready to support medicinal plant-based business development. Farmers demonstrated strong readiness in land availability, farming experience, crop diversification, and collaboration. MSMEs showed strong entrepreneurial motivation, basic processing capability, product innovation, and partnership interest. However, weaknesses remained in post-harvest handling, technology, financing, market access, licensing, product standardization, branding, and digital marketing.The study concludes that Kabupaten Asahan has a favourable foundation for medicinal plant-based business development. Nevertheless, sustainable development requires an integrated value-chain approach involving farmers, MSMEs, local government, universities, financial institutions, and private-sector partners.
