Abstract

In a village, called Laras, there is a small business (SME) that produces wet and dry cookies, marketed on a small scale. The problems faced by the SMEs include the lack of a strategic and easily accessible stall for the public, as well as minimal product promotion being conducted. Several important indicators in optimizing product sales results can be achieved through packaging design, shelf availability, and effective marketing. To address these issues, the Community Service Team provided a workshop to enhance skills related to the making of packaging label and marketing techniques. The abdimas team also provided an attractive shelving unit as a place to display the cakes to facilitate sales and make them visible to the surrounding community. In the end, a paired t-test was used to measure the benefits of the service provided. Based on the questionnaire data, the t-test statistic value obtained is |-65.21| = 65.21 > t-table value 1.699, hence it can be concluded that there was an improvement outcome after the service was conducted.

Abstract

educational institution that offers free education to its students. Its operational funding is supported by a business unit that processes palm sap into molded palm sugar, liquid palm sugar, palm sugar crystals, and other palm-based products such as candied palm fruit. However, the production methods used are still traditional and depend on simple tools, which often lead to variations in product quality. This community service program was designed to enhance productivity and improve the quality of palm sap products through the introduction of modern processing technology. The program consisted of seven phases: socialization, preparation of tools and materials, training, provision of equipment and technology, technology implementation, mentoring and evaluation, and ensuring sustainability. Participants included pesantren leaders, teachers, and students. The technologies introduced such as sap cooking machines, drying ovens, and sieving equipment—significantly improved efficiency. The sap cooking machine reduced processing time to about 2 hours, compared to the traditional 4–6 hours. The resulting molded, liquid, and crystal palm sugar products exhibited better and more consistent quality. Participants have also gained the necessary knowledge and skills to apply these innovations independently.

Abstract

The Mandatory Halal October 2024 (WHO) Campaign is a strategic initiative implemented by the Halal Product Guarantee Agency (BPJPH) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs to accelerate Indonesia’s ambition to become a global halal center. This program supports the enforcement of mandatory halal certification regulations, covering food and beverage products, raw materials and additives, as well as slaughter products and services. Mendalo Indah Village, which hosts Jambi University, has approximately 19.5% of its population engaged in trading and entrepreneurial activities, particularly in the food and beverage sector, where halal certification remains limited. This community-based program aimed to improve awareness, readiness, and institutional support for halal certification among local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The program identified 25 MSMEs ready for halal certification and strengthened collaboration among government agencies, academic institutions, and business actors to support the implementation of the Mandatory Halal policy. Assistance in the Halal Product Process (PPH) was provided to facilitate applications for free halal certification in line with WHO targets. Key outputs included a Cooperation/License Agreement, enabling partners to sustainably utilize the program to support halal certification for food and beverage MSMEs. The initiative enhanced MSME empowerment and complemented previous support programs such as Business Identification Number (NIB) and Home Industry Food Permit (PIRT) facilitation, while local media publications supported broader dissemination of the WHO campaign.
