Abstract

This community empowerment program focused on the cultivation of Trigona bees and the development of a local honey-based micro-enterprise in Lengkongjaya Village, Cigalontang District, Tasikmalaya Regency. The program aimed to enhance community capacity in stingless bee cultivation, product processing and packaging, as well as digital marketing to strengthen the competitiveness of “Madu Kampung Pramuka”. Activities included field observations, interviews, focus group discussions, technical training on sustainable beekeeping, branding and packaging assistance, and digital marketing education. The results indicated significant improvement in farmers’ knowledge regarding eco-friendly bee cultivation, promotional content creation, and the use of social media and e-commerce platforms. The honey products were packaged more attractively and marketed through digital platforms. The program also fostered ecological awareness, particularly the importance of maintaining flowering vegetation as bee forage. Social and economic benefits included increased household income, stronger village identity as a Honey Village, and enhanced community collaboration. Overall, trigona-based honey enterprise development effectively supports local economic resilience while promoting environmental sustainability through an eco-entrepreneurship approach.

Abstract

Melon is an economically important horticultural crop, widely cultivated for its sweet taste and nutritional benefits. However, its postharvest quality is strongly affected by storage conditions, particularly temperature, which can alter the fruit’s physiology, weight, texture, and shelf life. This study aims to evaluate the effect of storage temperature on the physical quality and shelf life of Cucumis melo var. inodorus. The study used a Completely Randomized Design with storage temperature treatments, namely, room temperature and low temperature, with five replications. Observed variables included fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit weight, skin and flesh thickness, flesh color, texture, and shelf life during the storage period. The results showed that storage at low temperature was able to maintain weight, skin and flesh thickness, firmness, and delayed color changes, while room temperature accelerated water loss, tissue softening, and color changes. Correlation analysis revealed that greater fruit diameter was positively correlated with both fruit weight and shelf life, whereas high temperature had a negative influence on these traits. Overall, storing melon at low temperatures extended its shelf life by approximately eight days compared to room temperature, while also preserving the fruit’s physical quality. These findings provide practical guidance for farmers, distributors, and retailers to minimize losses, maintain consumer quality, and enhance the market competitiveness of Cucumis melo var. inodorus.
