<![CDATA[This community service program was initiated in response to the limited market access faced by boboko artisans in Blok Pagar Gunung, Cipanas Village, Dukupuntang Subdistrict, Cirebon Regency, which has led to local economic stagnation. Boboko, as a traditional bamboo craft product, holds cultural value and market potential; however, it has not yet been able to penetrate modern or international markets due tolimitations in product innovation and distribution channels. The objective of this initiativeis to strengthen artisans’ economic resilience through business management training, product diversification, and facilitation of export access. The activities were conducted using a participatory training approach with the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method, focus group discussions (FGDs), and entrepreneurship workshops, involving strategic partners such as universities and Indonesian Exporting SMEs. Data sources include interviews with artisans, local collectors, and relevant stakeholders, as well as field observations. The focus of this initiative is on boboko and bamboo craft groups in Blok Pagar Gunung, who are being guided to access foreign markets through export stages such as identifying flagship products, improving quality standards and legal compliance, as well as creating e-catalogs and implementing digital marketing. It is tentatively hypothesized that strengthening capacity and market connectivity will increase product productivity and market value, and position local crafts as competitive export commodities.]]>
