Abstract

Sektor hortikultura di Indonesia menghadapi tantangan signifikan akibat ketergantungan petani kepada tengkulak dan minimnya pemahaman pemasaran modern. Petani seringkali menerima harga rendah karena rantai distribusi yang tidak efisien, serta kurangnya pengetahuan digital dan branding yang menyebabkan produk mereka tidak memiliki identitas jelas dan kesulitan membangun loyalitas pelanggan. Potensi Kelompok Tani “Nai Ca Anggit Anggit” dalam pertanian organik, meskipun besar, terhambat oleh kurangnya pemahaman digital, sehingga strategi branding dan pemasaran melalui media sosial, informasi produk lengkap, dan sistem pre-order (PO), serta pendampingan profesional, sangat dibutuhkan untuk memperkuat daya saing. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini berhasil meletakkan dasar bagi praktik pemasaran yang lebih berkelanjutan dan menguntungkan, mengurangi ketergantungan kepada tengkulak, dan mengoptimalkan nilai jual produk petani.

Abstract

Rice is recognized as the principal food commodity for the inhabitants of Manggarai, characterized by high per capita consumption and serving as the main source of energy. This research examined the patterns of rice consumption in Manggarai regency, employing a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and utilizing monthly data from 2020 to 2024. The data-gathering process involved coordination with the Department of Agriculture and Food Security, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Population and Civil Registration Office, and the Manggarai Regency Statistics Bureau. Stationary tests confirmed that the variables were integrated of order one, and Johansen cointegration analysis indicated several long-run equilibrium linkages among rice consumption, food prices, population, and ceremonial festivities. The research implies rice consumption is not significantly affected by short-run fluctuations in food prices, population, or cultural factors. Instead, adjustment occurs through the long-run equilibrium mechanism. In the long run, rice consumption is significantly influenced by rice prices, demographic changes, and ceremonial practices: rising rice prices reduce consumption, population growth increases demand, and cultural rituals suppress consumption. These outcomes emphasize the need for policies that stabilize food prices, promote dietary diversification, and integrate demographic and cultural considerations into regional food security strategies.

Abstract

Abstrak: Potensi tanaman kencur di Kabupaten Manggarai Barat sangat melimpah namun belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal sebagai peluang ekonomi bagi generasi muda. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan praktis (hardskill) dan jiwa kiwirausahaan (softskill) siswa SMKN 1 Boleng melalui pelatihan produksi jamu beras kencur. Metode yang digunakan adalah sosialisasi dan praktik langsung bersama siswa SMKN 1 Boleng. Sebelum pelatihan secara rata-rata hanya 13,34% yang berada pada kategori pemahaman kurang baik. Secara rinci, aspek teknik produksi higienis meningkat dari 15% menjadi 95%, aspek strategi pengemasan meningkat dari 15% menjadi 95%, dan aspek perhitungan HPP meningkat dari 10% menjadi 90%. Kendala utama selama proses praktik yaitu proses penghalusan bahan baku yang masih menggunakan teknik manual sehingga memerlukan waktu lebih lama, namun siswa tetap mampu memproduksi jamu secara higienis. Simpulan dari pelatihan ini yaitu siswa memiliki kesiapan keterampilan dan jiwa kewirausahaan untuk mengelola unit usaha mandiri berbasis potensi lokal.Abstract: The potential of kencur plants in West Manggarai Regency is abundant but has not yet been optimally utilized as an economic opportunity for the younger generation. This activity aims to improve the practical skills (hard skills) and entrepreneurial spirit (soft skills) of students at SMKN 1 Boleng through training in the production of beras kencur herbal medicine. The methods used included outreach sessions and hands-on practice with students at SMKN 1 Boleng. Prior to the training, an average of only 13.34% of students fell into the “poor understanding₝ category. Specifically, proficiency in hygienic production techniques increased from 15% to 95%, proficiency in packaging strategies increased from 15% to 95%, and proficiency in cost of goods sold (COGS) calculations increased from 10% to 90%. The main challenge during the practical training was the grinding of raw materials, which was still done manually and thus took longer; however, the students were still able to produce herbal remedies hygienically. The conclusion of this training is that the students possess the necessary skills and entrepreneurial spirit to manage independent business units based on local potential.
