Abstract

Purpose: The local food processing business is essential to the Indonesian economy. Lumpangan Village in Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi, has great potential due to the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) product "SEHATI," which manufactures Marning Corn. However, the need on sunshine for drying limits production, reducing output during the rainy season. To address this issue, the Akademi Komunitas Industri Manufaktur Bantaeng community service programme strives to improve corn product quality through the use of mechanical dryers and the education of workers on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Methodology: This program's methodology comprises collaborating with village officials, observing SMEs, developing solutions, implementing the community service programme, and assessing the program's success. Results: Observations show that mechanical dryers are successful in resolving drying problems, and GMP education enhances product quality. Conclusions: The service program was successful in raising the marning corn production by UMKM "SEHATI" and establishing the program as a long-term initiative. In addition, the program received the full support of village officials by the successful in overcoming production constraints during the rainy season through the purchase of corn dryers and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) education. Limitations: Prior to deployment, the primary drawback was a reliance on dry weather conditions. Contributions: This programme makes a substantial contribution, with the expectation that its long-term success will help to create other SMEs in Lumpangan Village and increase the quality of Marning corn products through better drying technology and worker education.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health problem and reflects chronic undernutrition that impairs children's physical growth and development. Appropriate complementary feeding (MP-ASI) is essential for meeting the nutritional requirements of children during the critical growth period and may influence stunting status. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between the type of complementary feeding (MP-ASI) and stunting status among children aged 24-59 months in Bonde Village, Pamboang District. Methods: A quantitative analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 92 mothers with children aged 24-59 months. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and anthropometric measurements. The association between MP-ASI type and stunting status was analyzed using the Chi-square test, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Results: Of the 92 children included in the study, 52 (56.5%) were classified as stunted. Local MP-ASI was the most frequently reported type of complementary feeding (44.6%). A statistically significant association was found between MP-ASI type and stunting status (p < 0.001). Compared with children receiving local MP-ASI, higher odds of stunting were observed among children receiving manufactured MP-ASI (OR = 6.22; 95% CI: 2.28-16.98) and a combination of local and manufactured MP-ASI (OR = 9.33; 95% CI: 2.26-38.51). Conclusion: A significant association was identified between the type of complementary feeding (MP-ASI) and stunting status among children aged 24-59 months in Bonde Village, Pamboang District. Given the cross-sectional nature of the study, the findings should be interpreted as associations rather than causal relationships. Further studies incorporating potential confounding factors are recommended to better understand the relationship between complementary feeding practices and child growth outcomes.
