Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in traditional food processing often face challenges such as limited marketing channels that rely mostly on word-of-mouth with restricted reach, unstructured financial management, and monotonous business activities. This Community Partnership Program (PKM) was conducted in Sario Kotabaru Village, Sario District, Manado City, targeting two SMEs that produce and sell traditional North Sulawesi foods, specifically "tinutuan" porridge combined with vegetables and pumpkin, and traditional fried snacks such as "nike" fritters and corn fritters, which are highly nutritious. The goal of this PKM activity was to provide training and motivation to the partners in digital marketing, sanitation, and financial management, enabling them to expand their business operations and increase profitability. The training included sessions and assistance on the importance of food sanitation, digital product marketing strategies, and financial management. The implementation method consisted of three stages: survey, proposal preparation, and submission; followed by coordination, socialization, and training in the second stage; and finally, evaluation and reporting. The PKM materials covered branding, marketing strategies, and food sanitation, including the use of social media for digital marketing and internet-based financial management software. The results showed that the targeted SMEs gained an understanding and hands-on experience with digital marketing using mobile phones, received support for digital content creation, and applied improved sanitation practices, contributing to a positive brand image. Evaluation results through questionnaires show that there is a change in mindset, skills proven by questionnaire responses after training with high levels of understanding

Abstract

Many coconut husks in coconut-producing área have not been maximally utilized, especially on a small scale for farmers. It happened due to the difficulty of obtaining simple small-scale coconut decomposing machines, and the region must import it from other regions. As a result, the utilization of coconut fiber in fiber and cocopeat is still minimal. Plus, when bringing in from outside, the logistics cost of the coconut husk decomposing machine is still high. This research aims to conduct a techno-economic analysis of a small-scale coconut husk decomposer from the machine designed and made. The research method was using the experimental method. The results showed that the equipment can produce cocofiber and cocopeat with 600 kg of husk per day for 6 hours of use. The results of economic calculations based on the IRR value, the net B/C ratio, and the payback period show that this machine is feasible to be developed on a small scale for Farmer groups. Technologically, this machine is simple and relatively easy to operate. Further research hopes this machine will prove its durability over long, heavy work periods.

Abstract

Postharvest damage to potatoes can occur due to plant physiological disorders, such as evaporation (transpiration), respiration (respiration), tubers sprouting, and tubers becoming too ripe. This research aims to design, manufacture, and test an evaporative cooling device using a direct spray method from a fan into a room or box by conducting technical tests about temperature, humidity (RH), signs of potato damage, weight loss, and water content. The test was carried out using an evaporative cooling device (evaporative cooler) for 30 days.    This research tested the effectiveness of the evaporative cooling system compared to room outside storage on potato quality for 30 days observationally. The results show that evaporative cooling equipment can prolong the shelf life of fresh potatoes in tropical areas according to physical parameters such as signs of damage to potatoes during storage, water content, and percentage of weight loss. For future development, increasing the fan and cooling pad to medium size is necessary for more effective equipment. An evaporative cooler is a cost-efficient and sustainable method for preserving agricultural produce in rural areas far from urban centers.

Abstract

This research aimed to develop coconut fiber boards using a mixture of cassava starch adhesive with a focus on examining the physical characteristics (density, moisture content, and thickness development) and mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture) of the composite boards made from coconut fiber using cassava starch adhesive with the addition of 25% citric acid. Additionally, the research evaluated the physical and mechanical characteristics of the fiberboards, following the guidelines of SNI 01-4449-2006 using an experimental method. The results showed that the fiberboards produced from coconut fiber and modified cassava starch adhesive (25% citric acid) exhibited specific physical characteristics. The density, moisture content, and thickness development ranged from 0.46 to 0.57 g/cm³, 13.18% to 14.39%, and 8.39% to 10.60% after two hours of soaking as well as 19.05% to 32.06% after 24 hours. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the boards indicated a modulus of elasticity (MOE) and a modulus of rupture (MOR) ranging from 19247.33 to 42740.38 kg/cm² and 116.36 to 178.07 kg/cm², respectively. These findings are expected to provide valuable information for further research to obtain environmentally friendly adhesive materials. Keywords: Agriculture, Coconut fiberboard, Environmental friendly, Natural adhesive, Wood.
