<![CDATA[Sridadi Village, located in a mountainous region, has vast Arabica coffee potential, yet farmers' income remains constrained by traditional post-harvest practices. This Foster Village Empowerment (PDB) program aims to evaluate the effectiveness of primary and secondary innovations in enhancing production capacity, product quality, and local economic independence. The methodology combined appropriate technology transfer (hard technology) and capacity building (soft technology) backed by structured evaluation. Technological integration drastically improved operational efficiency: sorting capacity surged 20-fold from 10 kg/hour to 200 kg/hour, washing capacity rose 5-fold from 50 kg/hour to 250 kg/hour, and drying capacity tripled from 500 kg per 3 days to 500 kg/day. This technical advancement was complemented by a 30% increase in participants' business knowledge, reaching an average score of 82%. Consequently, green bean quality became more consistent, enabling downstream product diversification. Improved packaging and digital marketing strategies expanded market reach across three neighboring regencies and prepared partners for export readiness. Overall, this intervention demonstrates that technology integration and mentorship successfully foster sustainable rural economic self-reliance based on local resources.]]>
