Optimalisasi Nilai Ekonomi Mangga Golek melalui Pelatihan Produksi Selai sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Kesejahteraan dan Kesehatan Masyarakat Desa Murnaten

Abstract

Murnaten Village boasts extraordinary agricultural potential, particularly for the Golek mango commodity. However, the community still faces price fluctuations and high post-harvest losses. This community service activity aims to optimize the economic value of Golek mangoes through jam production training, while comprehensively improving the community's welfare and health. The implementation method uses a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach, which includes observation, module development, participatory training, independent practice, and mentoring and evaluation. The activity involved thirty partners consisting of farmer groups and family welfare empowerment cadres. The main results of the activity demonstrated a significant increase in food safety knowledge, technical production skills, and entrepreneurial motivation among participants. The resulting outputs included high-quality Golek mango jam, training modules, increased household income, and scientific publications. In conclusion, downstreaming agricultural products through jam processing is an effective strategy that not only increases sales value but also encourages food diversification and family nutritional security. The impacts of this activity include the creation of new household businesses, increased family income, and improved fruit consumption patterns, which have positive implications for preventing nutritional problems at the community level.
