INCREASING THE WELFARE OF FAMILY OF FARMERS THROUGH BUSINESS DIVERSIFICATION AND PROVIDING VALUE ADDED ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

Abstract

The Pamekasan Regency Government is targeting a 1-digit reduction in the poverty rate since 2018. One of the targets of the poverty alleviation program is the Proppo District. Responding to this policy, Mitra asked for cooperation in the field of community service, especially to improve the welfare of farm workers. Among the families of farm workers, the problems they often face due to the pressure of poverty are generally problems of an elementary nature, namely those related to the difficulty of meeting the necessities of life.

This community service aims to improve the welfare of the families of smallholder farmers through skills training for smallholders to add value to agricultural products and encourage the ability of smallholder families and farm workers to diversify their businesses. This activity is carried out by providing skills training to farm workers to improve welfare through adding value to agricultural products and the ability to diversify their businesses so that they have the ability to increase their income.
