Pemberdayaan Pelaku Usaha Pengolahan Kopi Kelompok Pecinta Alam Lawu Tengah Sebagai Wujud Pemanfaatan Komoditas Lokal Desa Sukowidi Kecamatan Panekan, Kabupaten Magetan

Abstract

Sukowidi Village, located in Panekan District, Magetan Regency, is known as the largest coffee commodity producing area. The sale of this coffee is one of the economic drivers for the residents of Sukowidi Village. However, there is a problem that arises in the limited coffee processing process, both in terms of processing equipment and human resources. Sukowidi Village already has a fairly active Central Lawu nature lovers group that can be an agent in overcoming coffee problems, but the lack of insight into entrepreneurship, food processing techniques, and marketing techniques is an obstacle in developing coffee. The UNS PKM Team will empower the group through proper coffee processing and ready to be marketed as a form of utilization of local coffee commodities. The activities carried out are conducting entrepreneurship training and food industry management in order to provide direction in entrepreneurship and managing a coffee processing business. Furthermore, the UNS PKM Team also provides training and assistance on how to process coffee properly so that safe, hygienic and halal products can be produced and are enjoyable to consume by the community. The introduction of tools is also carried out to support coffee processing activities, namely in the form ofhuller and pulper machines. The main objective of the community service is to create UMKM managed by members of the Lawu Tengah nature lovers group in Sukowidi Village with good quality according to good, safe and halal food processing procedures because the production process is free from non-halal additives, and attractive in terms of appearance, so that it can support halal tourism which is being promoted by the government.
