Abstract

This community service aims to increase the added value of pandan mat Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) products in Kadumaneuh Village, Pandeglang Regency, through product diversification. Pandan mats are local products that have high economic potential but still face challenges in terms of marketing and product innovation. This community service is carried out by involving training for local craftsmen on product diversification techniques, marketing, and effective branding development. The results of this service are expected to increase the knowledge and skills of craftsmen in creating new, innovative products, such as accessories and decorations made from pandan mats. In addition, improving product quality and appropriate marketing strategies are expected to expand market reach and increase MSME income. The resulting managerial implications include the need to improve MSME managerial skills in product design management, the use of digital technology for marketing, and the development of collaborative strategies with other parties to increase production and distribution efficiency. This paper contributes to providing a strategic understanding of the importance of the role of digital marketing and financial literacy as a solution to increase the competitiveness and turnover of MSMEs in the era of digital transformation through a training approach based on partner needs.

Abstract

This community service program aims to strengthen family economic resilience through horticultural development using the greenhouse method in Mandalamekar Village, Bandung. The main problem faced by the community was the destruction of the existing greenhouse following a natural disaster in 2023, which disrupted agricultural production sustainability and affected food security. The program was implemented through persuasive and participatory action approaches involving local farmers, village officials, lecturers, students, and alumni. The implementation stages included training, facilitation, mentoring, and monitoring of the greenhouse construction and horticultural management processes. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-test methods to measure improvements in participants’ knowledge and skills. The results show that greenhouse-based horticulture contributes to increasing agricultural productivity, farmers’ income, and household food resilience. In addition, the program supports achieving university performance indicators (IKU 2, 3, and 5), which encourage off-campus learning and collaboration between academia and the community. The program provides significant managerial implications in developing sustainable agricultural innovation, empowering local farmers, and utilizing appropriate technology to support economic recovery and resilience in rural areas. This initiative serves as a model for strengthening rural economies through environmentally adaptive and technology-based agriculture.
