Abstract

Sumber Bakti Hamlet, Makarti Jaya Village is one of the orange-producing villages that supports economic activities in the area. However, the orange farmer group faces several problems, such as (Product Diversification), Farmers do not utilize garden waste (damaged oranges) and sorting waste (undergrade oranges), (Knowledge): Farmers do not understand the process of producing organic fertilizer as a valuable product in providing direct contributions. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase public understanding of the benefits of liquid organic fertilizer; improve the ability of the Tunas Muda Sumber Bakti Farmer Group through the application of product design management for processing orange waste into liquid organic fertilizer; and increase the productivity of the Tunas Muda Sumber Bakti Farmer Group through processing orange waste into liquid organic fertilizer. Based on the results of the evaluation of all participants who took part in the activity, it showed that after the training activity was carried out, there was an increase in understanding and skills in all training participants. Tunas Muda Sumber Bakti Farmer Group Knows the proper and correct management of organic waste before training 23%, and after training 100%, Understands organic fertilizer in general before training 61.5%, and after training 92.8%, Knows the utilization and processing of citrus waste before training 7.6%, and after training 92.3%, Able to make citrus waste liquid organic fertilizer before training 0%, and after training 92.3%.

Review

The submitted abstract describes a pertinent community service initiative titled "Pendampingan Pemanfaatan Limbah Buah Jeruk Sebagai Pupuk Organik Cair di Desa Sumber Bakti Kecamatan Darul Makmur Kabupaten Nagan Raya" (Assistance for the Utilization of Orange Fruit Waste as Liquid Organic Fertilizer in Sumber Bakti Village, Darul Makmur District, Nagan Raya Regency). This intervention addresses a critical issue in agricultural communities: the sustainable management of agricultural waste, specifically underutilized orange fruit waste, to create value-added products like liquid organic fertilizer. The authors clearly identify significant problems faced by the Tunas Muda Sumber Bakti Farmer Group, including a lack of product diversification, inadequate utilization of garden and sorting waste, and a deficiency in knowledge regarding organic fertilizer production. The primary objectives of this activity were to enhance public understanding of liquid organic fertilizer benefits, improve the farmer group's capabilities through practical application of waste processing, and ultimately increase their productivity. The abstract reports on a direct intervention aimed at resolving these identified challenges through a structured community service activity. The approach involved a mentoring and training program focused on transforming orange waste into liquid organic fertilizer. The evaluation results, presented quantitatively, demonstrate a significant positive impact on the participants' knowledge and skills. For instance, understanding of organic waste management rose from 23% to 100%, general understanding of organic fertilizer increased from 61.5% to 92.8%, and knowledge of citrus waste utilization dramatically improved from 7.6% to 92.3%. Most notably, the ability to produce liquid organic fertilizer from citrus waste, initially at 0%, soared to 92.3% after the training. These metrics strongly indicate the immediate effectiveness of the program in transferring practical knowledge and developing tangible skills within the Tunas Muda Sumber Bakti Farmer Group. While the abstract effectively highlights the immediate success in knowledge and skill transfer, it functions primarily as a report on a community service activity. Its strengths lie in identifying a clear community need, implementing a direct solution, and presenting measurable short-term outcomes. For a more comprehensive journal submission, future iterations could benefit from a more detailed methodological section outlining the duration of the *pendampingan*, the number of participants beyond percentages, and the specific curriculum or "product design management" principles applied. Furthermore, exploring the long-term sustainability of this initiative, the economic impact on the farmer group, and potential challenges encountered during implementation would provide a richer context. Considering this is a community service report, the abstract successfully conveys the positive impact and immediate achievements in empowering the local farming community towards more sustainable agricultural practices.
