Abstract

“UPPO” development has become a strategic component in increasing the income of farmers and encouraging the use of organic fertilizer in farming. The Indonesian government has realized 68 UPPO aid packages for the province of West Sumatra. In reality on the ground, 72% of UPPO is producing below its capacity. This activity aims to empower UPPO through the introduction of organic fertilizer processing technology that meets quality standards and packaging improvements. Raso farmer groups in the city of Payakumbuh serve as pilot projects in this activity. The method of this activity is learning by doing with intensive coaching. The results of the activity showed an increase in the quality of organic fertilizers so that it meets the quality standards of Permentan no. 70-2011. Improved packaging with brand printing and nutrient content information makes packaging more attractive and informative. Based on the decrease in water content, resistant organic fertilizer is stored for 3 weeks in the marketing period. It is hoped that this technology can be disseminated to UPPO recipients in Indonesia and similar programs in the world.
