Abstract

Development prospects and opportunities for processed foods derived from taro have recently increased. Taro crackers are one of the snack foods that are in high demand among consumers. The Taro Processing Group of Wanagiri Village, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, formed in 2020 with ten members, participates in Regional Superior Product Development Programme activities. Partners have produced and marketed taro tubers processed into taro chips, but the process has not been exhaustive, and partners wish to increase the quantity and quality. As a result of their lack of knowledge in the fields of processing and effective business management, partners encounter difficulties in managing production and marketing. This activity aims to equip the Wanagiri Village Taro Processing Group with the skills and knowledge to manage local natural resources and the entrepreneurial mentality to capitalise on business opportunities related to Wanagiri Village conditions. The implementation method involves coaching, training, mentoring, and structured consultation on various partner-related issues. Regional Leading Product Development Programme Wanagiri Taro Processing Group, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, has yielded positive results. The Wanagiri Taro Processing Group increased its value and enhanced its living conditions. Regional Leading Product Development Programme application is possible. The community can assimilate up to 80% of knowledge regarding the processing of taro chips with varying flavours, product packaging, and marketing, which will aid in product development. In addition, comprehension exists regarding cultivating taro plants in the backyard, using taro processing waste as animal fodder, and business management. This activity should be performed continuously, along with assistance, so that the group can independently produce and sell taro snacks with various flavors.

Abstract

The rising demand for Siam Kintamani oranges is driven by heightened public health awareness. Its bioactive components benefit human health, but their quality is swiftly deteriorating. Oranges must be preserved using the Nanocoating-konjac application procedure. Nanocoating-konjac is an immersion-applied natural preservative solution derived from konjac. Efforts to develop the autonomy and welfare of a community are made through village community empowerment. The Woman’s Farmer Group (KWT) Mekar-Sari (partners) is a group of women cultivators in the village of Pengejaran, Kintamani District, Bali Province, Indonesia, who require assistance to increase the shelf life of Siamese oranges. Using Nanocoating-konjac as a natural preservative for Siamese oranges can support community service objectives, such as enhancing (both soft and hard) skills and forming/developing economically and socially independent communities. By engaging in community service, partners gain the knowledge and abilities to manage natural resources and an entrepreneurial spirit, expanding their business and marketing opportunities. Community service activities are conducted through training using lecture methods, discussions, demonstrations, queries and answers, while an evaluation is carried out after handling the program. Seventy percent of the twenty group members who participated in community service had never preserved Siamese oranges, while thirty percent had done so. After participating in these activities, all members understand the materials and procedures, and they continue to apply nanocoating to citrus fruits based on what is marketed. Coating citrus fruits with nano-konjac adds value and becomes a community income source.
