Abstract

ABSTRAK                                                                                     Pulau baho terletak di Desa Labuan Beropa, Kecamatan Laonti, Kabupaten Konawe Selatan, Sulawesi Tenggara. Pulau Baho masih 1 daratan dengan  laonti akan tetapi tidak adanya akses darat sehingga akses menuju dusun Baho menggunakan perahu. Sebagian besar dari masyarakatnya adalah nelayan yang sangat tergantung pada ekosistem pesisir. Kondisi perairan yang kadang tidak bersahabat menyebabkan nelayan sering menunda penangkapan ikan sehingga mempengaruhi pendapatan perekonomian. Dusun Baho umumnya memiliki tanah dengan tekstur pasir, berkadar garam dan rendah unsur hara.  Oleh sebab itu, lahan dikawasan pesisir Baho dapat dikatakan tidak dapat memberikan kontribusi pendapatan dari sektor pertanian bagi penghuninnya. Pengabdian ini bertujuan memberdayakan masyarakat dusun baho khususnya kelompok “Gold Mom’ yang beranggotakan 20orang melalaui penerapan teknolgi hidrogel-nanomaterial dalam budidaya cabai pada tanah salin dengan waktu kegaitan selama 8 bulan. Budidaya tanaman pangan seperti cabai merupakan produk holtikultura yang bernilai ekonomi tinggi yang bersifat multiguna, karena dapat digunakan  sebagai bahan pangan maupun obat-obatan. Selain itu, program ini juga mencakup pelatihan budidaya, pengolahan pasca panen (Saus sambal dan cabai bubuk), Pembentukan kelompok tani serta manajemen usaha tani yang mandiri. Metode pelaksanaan terdiri dari sosialisasi, pelatihan teknis, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan kelompok hingga evaluasi berkelanjutan. Luaran yang ditargetkan meliputi meningkatnya keterampilan masyarakat dalam budidaya dan pengolahan cabai, terbentuknya kelompok tani, serta publikasi jurnal. Dampak jangka panjang yang diharapkan adalah peningkatan kemandirian ekonomi masyarakat pesisir dan model usaha tani cabai berbabsis inovasi yang berkelanjutan.  Hasil kegiatan penerapan teknologi untuk peningkatan pertumbuhan tanaman cabai menunjukkan ada peningkatan 50-70% dibanding tanaman yang tidak menggunakan Hodrogel-Nano dan juga adanya kegiatan baru bagi kelompok ibu-ibu di dusun baho Hasil kegiatan penyuluhan dan pelatihan menunjukkan ada peningkatan pemahaman masyarakat dalam penanaman cabai dan juga pascapanen.Kata Kunci: Teknologi Hidrogel-Nano Material, Budidaya Cabai, Pemberdayaan Masyarakat, Pascapanen. ABSTRACTBaho Island is located in Labuan Beropa Village, Laonti District, South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Baho Island shares a landmass with Laonti, but there is no land access, so access to Baho Hamlet is by boat. Most of the residents are fishermen who depend heavily on the coastal ecosystem. The sometimes unfriendly water conditions often cause fishermen to postpone fishing, which impacts their income. Baho Hamlet generally has sandy soil with a high salt content and low nutrient content. Therefore, the land in the Baho coastal area can be said to be unable to contribute to agricultural income for its residents.  This community service aims to empower the Baho hamlet community, especially the 20-member "Gold Mom" group, through the application of hydrogel-nanomaterial technology in chili cultivation on saline soil with an activity period of 8 months. Cultivation of food crops such as chili is a horticultural product with high economic value that is multipurpose, because it can be used as food and medicine. In addition, this program also includes training in cultivation, post-harvest processing (chili sauce and chili powder), the formation of farmer groups and independent farming business management. The implementation method consists of socialization, technical training, technology application, group mentoring to continuous evaluation. Targeted outputs include increasing community skills in chili cultivation and processing, the formation of farmer groups, and journal publications. The expected long-term impact is increased economic independence of coastal communities and a chili farming business model based on sustainable innovation. The results of the application of technology to increase chili plant growth show a 50-70% increase compared to plants that do not use Hydrogel-Nano and also the creation of new activities for mothers' groups in Baho hamlet. Results of extension activities  The training demonstrated an increase in community understanding of chili cultivation and post-harvest management.Keywords: Hydrogel-Nano Material Technology, Chili Cultivation, Community Empowerment, Post-Harvest.

Abstract

Post-harvest handling is a crucial stage in maintaining the quality and market value of agricultural commodities, including chili peppers, which are one of the main products of the community in Baho Village. This study aims to analyze the role of farmer groups in improving the efficiency of chili post-harvest handling in Baho Village, as well as to identify factors that support or hinder the implementation of optimal post-harvest practices. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation with farmer group members and village officials. The results indicate that farmer groups play a significant role in coordinating harvesting, drying, sorting, and packaging processes. Through training activities and experience sharing, farmer groups enhance members’ skills in maintaining crop quality and reducing product damage. However, challenges include limited storage facilities, lack of access to modern post-harvest technology, and market price fluctuations that affect farmers’ motivation. With support from local government and extension agencies, optimizing the role of farmer groups is expected to improve post-harvest efficiency and the welfare of chili farmers in Baho Village.
