In groups of cultivators and coffee processors, there are some things that become Attention, namely (1) increasing quantity and quality of coffee beans produced, (2) Processing waste from coffee cultivation and processing processes, and (3) socio-economic aspects of industrial development. The quantity and quality of the coffee beans themselves are related to the process such as the pollination process, post-harvest protection. On the other hand, coffee waste in the form of fruit skin and shells of coffee beans mixed during the process of exfoliation have the potential to be processed into materials that are useful for increasing soil fertility naturally, namely organic fertilizer / compost. In addition to compost, coffee waste can be used as a component component of feed in a formulation with other constituent feed ingredients, so that it can meet the needs of the daily nutrition of sheep, especially in the adequacy of dry materials, digestive proteins and metabolic energy. In the second year, it was planned for training and transfer of related technology with (1) the introduction of local stingless bees applications as a pollinated agent with a plan expand the application area and development of derivative products from honey bees, (2) technology related to the protection of coffee fruit on insect pest attacks both before harvest and post-harvest, (3) technology related to post-harvest processing, (4) Agricultural waste processing technology using insects As a controlling agent to produce new compost and sources of feed, in addition to the development of economic value and as part of an integrated coffee agricultural system, and (5) the introduction of business management for determining strategic steps related to increasing business competitiveness.
Application of appropriate technology, the application of writing, the implementation of social care activities in the form of education / counseling / mentoring
The incident Pandemic Covid-19 caused a decrease in demand for coffee as the main source of income from most partners so partners divert the income to products that are by-side of coffee plantation businesses, such as agriculture horticulture. Even though it gets income, but the selling value of horticulture products also get the impact of pandemic conditions so that the product sales value is difficult for become capital for the next cultivation process. Other problems that occur as a result of pandemic are business activities become Decentralized where every farmer does each of them in their location. This condition causes a technology model and knowledge must be given according to conditions from each farmer (Tailor Made).
