Abstract

Bloro Village is one of the villages in Nita District, Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province with the majority of the population working as farmers. The leading commodity in this village is Cocoa. The Plea Puli Farmers Group is one of the farmer groups involved in cocoa cultivation, including the seeding and processing of the results. The Plea Puli Farmers Group has a chocolate industrial house with production products in the form of cocoa powder and chocolate bars. To get a quality chocolate bar and cocoa powder products, you need to pay attention to post-harvest handling, namely cocoa fermentation. Because it is at this stage that determines the precursor to the distinctive taste of cocoa. However, the fact is that most farmers do not ferment properly. This program aims to provide education to farmers about post-harvest handling, especially cocoa fermentation. Through this activity, it is hoped that farmers can understand that to obtain good quality cocoa beans, the thing that must be considered is post-harvest handling, especially cocoa fermentation. This program begins with a discussion with several members of the Plea Puli Farmers Group and the preparation of an activity plan with the farmer group. Followed by the preparation stage, namely preparing tools and materials. At the implementation stage, activities began with socialisation about cocoa fermentation, then continued with harvesting, fruit sorting, ripening, fruit splitting, wet bean sorting, fermentation, and drying activities with the Plea Puli Farmers Group.

Abstract

This article presents the results of community service activities carried out in Bloro village, Nita Sub-district, Sikka district. This activity aims to overcome coconut fibre waste in Bloro village, especially in the Plea Puli farmer group. The solution to reducing this waste so that environmental pollution does not occur and does not cause dengue fever which can be detrimental to human health, is to use coconut fibre waste to make items of selling value and have useful properties, one of which can be processed into a planting medium in the form of cocopeat, using a natural process. Namely through grating or crushing. Cocopeat is a planting medium that is cheap, environmentally friendly and has many benefits. One of the benefits of cocopeat is it can be used as a planting medium that is resistant to fungus, able to store a lot of water, and can fertilize plants. Method for implementing the coconut fibre waste processing process which consists of (1) counselling, (2) direct practice, and (3) mentoring. From the use of cocopeat, it can be used as a planting medium for cocoa seedlings. To carry out seeding, it is necessary to select superior varieties, the varieties used in cocoa nurseries, namely clone Sulawesi 01. In carrying out seedlings, it is necessary to go through several stages, namely:(1) preparing the seed for sowing, (2) preparing the nursery, (3) preparing the planting medium, (4) planting, and (5) caring for the seed. From this activity, it can be concluded that nurseries using cocopeat can provide optimal growth and development. It is hoped that this activity can have a sustainable positive impact on the Bloro Village community, especially members of the plea puli farmer group and become an inspiring example for cocoa nurseries using cocopeat growing media.
