Members of this farmer group are generally rice farmers and secondary crops such as corn farmers, but a small number of farmer group members have a ground coffee processing business. The products produced are only consumed by themselves and/or served at village events and given to neighbors. Generally, ground coffee products are simply packaged in clear plastic packaging without a brand. This ground coffee product has a large market opportunity to be marketed outside the village, both as souvenir products and/or direct consumption products in stalls or sweet shops. Just like food products, ground coffee must meet food safety and health standards. These standards are set by government institutions or agencies, including the health department, BPOM, and the MUI halal agency. In addition, products that will be marketed to the public must have a business license and distribution permit from an authorized government institution or agency such as the trade and industry department. However, conditions in the field show that many members of farmer groups who have ground coffee processing businesses or other food processing businesses do not understand the mechanisms and requirements for the required business licenses. Therefore, this community service activity is very important to provide knowledge and insight to business actors, especially members of farmer groups who have ground coffee processing businesses or other food processing businesses Based on the agenda of activities that have been prepared, this community service activity begins 1) Community service begins with an opening and briefing at the office of the Karang Tinggi District Agricultural Extension Office, Central Bengkulu Regency.
