"This IRT business produces Salome krecek or what is known as rengginang cassava as a special food from Wonosobo Regency. This step is an effort to help increase the productivity of Salome's krecek business.
Ngadikerso Village is an area with a focus on developing the agricultural sector, especially agro-industry based on local potential. One of them is kerupuk krecek salome which is made from cassava," said Ragil Tri Indrawati ST MT to the press at the Polines campus, Saturday (29/10/2022).
Unfortunately, said Ragil, the management of Salome's Krecek business is still carried out conventionally without the help of Appropriate Technology (TTG) or other technologies, both in terms of production and management. This makes productivity, quality and quantity less than optimal. Polines service activities focus on assisting partners in overcoming problems in the aspects of production, marketing management and quality & health management.
This community service is a Community Science and Technology Application (PIM) scheme funded by the Academic Directorate of Vocational Higher Education, the Directorate General of Vocational Education, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology for the 2022 Fiscal Year. This program aims to advance the production capacity of SMEs and the Home Industry Stairs in a number of areas from management in a conventional way to a more modern direction using technological assistance.
The entire series of activities will be carried out from June to November 2022. This timeframe is expected to increase the competitiveness of SME and Home Industry products.
In the field of quality and health management, the service team has prepared a production room with an area of 18 m2 which can be used as a production site. In the field of production, providing TTG and training on the use of dough molding machines with a capacity of 60 kg/hour.
Meanwhile, in the field of marketing management, product branding is developed in the form of logos and packaging that shows the characteristics of the Salome Krecek Business and online-based media as a means of product marketing. All of these PIM activities can have a positive impact on partners as an effort to optimize IRT business management. (Sgi)
