Abstract

is still limited to household consumption and fresh sales, resulting in low economic value. To increase the added value of coconuts and empower the community, training on Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) production was conducted for 30 PKK members and 9 village officials. This activity was held on June 24, 2025, at the Simaeasi Village office, using lecture methods, direct practice, and technical assistance. The training covered all stages of VCO production, from coconut selection, grating, coconut milk pressing, fermentation, sedimentation, and the oil refining process. The training results showed that participants experienced a significant increase in knowledge and skills. From 5 mature coconuts, approximately 300 mL of VCO was produced with clear characteristics, coconut aroma, and not rancid. Economic simulations showed that the selling value of VCO is much higher than that of fresh coconuts. Thus, this training successfully increased the community's capacity in coconut processing and opened up new business opportunities based on home industries.

Abstract

Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a high-value horticultural commodity, but its productivity is often hampered by factors such as soil conditions, climate, pests and disease. The use of plastic mulch, especially the black-silver type, can increase chili yields by 25–40% through weed control, maintaining soil temperature, and reducing evaporation. Although initial costs are relatively high, significant yield increases can offset those costs. However, the resulting plastic waste is an environmental problem, so biodegradable mulch can be a more environmentally friendly alternative. This research uses a literature review method to collect and evaluate information from various relevant sources regarding the application of plastic mulch in increasing chili productivity. With proper management, plastic mulch can support increased chili yields and agricultural sustainability.
