Abstract

Coffee is one of Indonesia’s most significant agricultural commodities, yet post-harvest handling among smallholder farmers remains suboptimal. This community service program aimed to empower coffee farmers in Sukasari, Mount Manglayang, West Java, by introducing post-harvest storage practices that comply with the Indonesian National Standards (SNI). The program was conducted in July 2025 through a combination of training, demonstration, and participatory approaches with farmer groups. Pre-surveys revealed that more than 70% of farmers stored coffee beans using traditional methods, resulting in quality degradation and low market value. The intervention included training sessions, technical demonstrations on the use of simple storage racks, and the introduction of tools such as moisture meters and thermohygrometers. Evaluation results indicated a significant improvement in farmers’ knowledge, with post-test scores showing more than 40% increase compared to pre-tests. Farmers were also actively involved in drafting a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for coffee storage, which is now used as a reference by their cooperatives. The findings highlight the importance of participatory capacity building in enhancing product quality, ensuring better market access, and aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly goals 1 (No Poverty), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

Abstract

A strategic approach to meet the issues given by the rapid growth of online markets is the improvement of digital marketing capability among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Gekbrong District, Cianjur Regency, through Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) methods. By enhancing their understanding and practical skills in the use of SEO strategies, including keyword research, on-page optimisation, creating excellent content, and efficiently utilising Google My Business, this community engagement program aims to empower nearby MSMEs. The training approach, which involved MSME players from a variety of business sectors like agribusiness, handicrafts, and culinary arts, blended theoretical lessons, practical experience, and mentoring. The findings showed that organic traffic increased on average. Participants also mentioned increased internet sales and market expansion outside of Cianjur. The primary obstacles were corporate actors' poor technological knowledge and the lack of adequate digital infrastructure. As a result, the program suggests creating SEO learning groups, creating training materials in regional languages, and offering more reliable internet connection. The application of SEO tactics has been successful in improving MSMEs' digital marketing capabilities in Gekbrong District, and it may be replicated in other areas to promote digital economic inclusion at the community level.

Using a case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis from selected Thai snack MSMEs. The findings indicate that mentoring significantly improves entrepreneurs’ ability to structure comprehensive business plans, identify market opportunities, and manage risks. Simultaneously, the adoption of UMKM machinery contributes to operational scalability and competitiveness, enabling young start-ups to meet market demand more effectively. The integration of mentoring and machinery adoption provides a synergistic effect, resulting in stronger strategic planning and sustainable business growth.
