Master of Agribusiness Management (MMA) Universitas Gadjah Mada conducted community service in the Menoreh Hills of Kulon Progo, precisely in Nglambur Hamlet, Sidoharjo Village, Kapanewon Samigaluh. Farmers in that location, farmers apply agroforestry farming practices, for example, sengon, mahogany, avocado, and durian trees that are tall, are planted on the same land as medium-sized coffee plants, and emponies. The MMA study program focuses on the cultivation of empon-empon to post-harvest management because this plant has been widely cultivated with several advantages, namely empon-empon can still grow even though it is shaded by taller plants, the selling price is stable, and does not require a special induction process. Furthermore, the empon-empon group has the potential to be developed as a value-added product.
