Abstract

Tampaksiring Village has great potential in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector, especially in the field of batik crafts. Although many batik entrepreneurs have high motivation to develop and compete globally, the main obstacle faced is the lack of effective marketing strategies, which results in a minimal product market share. Therefore, training and mentoring are needed for the community to increase economic potential and achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study aims to analyze weaknesses and strengths in the economic sector using SWOT analysis techniques. The calculation of the Internal Factor Index (IFAS) and External Factor Index (EFAS) places it in quadrant 1, indicating that its strengths are more dominant than its weaknesses. In addition, quadrant 4 indicates that the opportunities faced outweigh the threats faced. Therefore, measures are needed to maintain the position in quadrant 1 by increasing strengths and reducing weaknesses. The recommended strategy based on the SWOT Analysis is to maximize the potential of human resources in marketing typical processed products. Steps that can be taken by the community to increase turnover include creating websites and utilizing social networks as promotional media, cooperation with business partners, the use of modern technology, expanding promotional networks, and seeking support from the government.

Abstract

The production of Ettawa goat milk from the Mentari women's group breeders is quite high but this is inversely proportional to the management of goat milk processing which should get a lot of economic value from the milk produced by the Mentari women's group. The production of Ettawa goat's milk, which has been running so far, has no economic value for goat breeders and is still processed conventionally. This problem is also strengthened by the members' knowledge of using technology so that there is no regular promotion or marketing either directly or using online media such as Instagram. , Facebook, E-Commerce, or website. Apart from that, so far the Ettawa goat's milk produced is only fresh milk, with production results which on certain days are quite high, not commensurate with consumer demand, which in the end the quality of the milk has been damaged, and cannot be resold, there is no milk processing, as variations in the use of milk and its economic value into various products such as yogurt and kefir (with fermentation), and soap. Milk processing is not carried out by the Mentari women's group because of limited knowledge, technology, and production equipment to process goat's milk. The importance of training and assistance on how to process Ettawa goat milk into various dairy products that have economic value and are liked by consumers, the use of technology for online marketing and sales as well as institutional strengthening of the Mentari women farmer group as a group that collaborates in milk processing and milk marketing and variants together to move towards a more professional group.

The method for implementing this activity consists of preparation, implementation (training and mentoring for 20 times), and evaluation. Evaluation data collection was carried out using observation and questionnaire methods. The result of the program is that there is an increase in teachers' ability to teach Balinese script using voice-assisted Reaksi media to blind children, from initially quite good to very good.

The evaluation results provide profound insights for developing future community service programs, emphasizing material adjustments and a more focused approach. In conclusion, this community service affirms the success of increasing community understanding through counseling activities, but the challenges require a sustainable approach. Future program development is expected to be more effective in responding to community needs and contextual changes regarding the non-litigation resolution of MSME disputes.
