Abstract
This community service project aimed to enhance the economic sustainability of Brongkol Village through the development of value-added durian and coffee products. Brongkol’s durian and Robusta coffee, key agroforestry commodities, faced challenges including low productivity, inconsistent quality, and a lack of postharvest management. The project utilized participatory methods, involving local farmers in training, mentoring, and technology application, such as solar dryers and Android-based coffee roasters. As a result, farmers improved their product quality, diversified their income through value-added products, and gained a deeper understanding of sustainable agroforestry practices. Additionally, the project contributed to the village's development as a potential agrotourism destination. The success of this program underscores the importance of collaboration between academia, government, and local communities, and provides a model for sustainable development in agroforestry regions across Central Java. Future efforts should focus on expanding market access and obtaining product certifications for long-term success.
