Counselling of Traditional Tempe Manufacturers In Bakungan, Wedomartani, Ngemplak, Sleman

Abstract

Abstract. Bakungan, Wedomartani, Ngemplak, Sleman, was once famous for its traditional tempe production because there were 6 tempe manufacturers. There are currently only 2 manufacturers who still exist and are consistent with this profession. The two manufacturers are Mrs. Tukirah and Mrs. Budi Lestari. The two manufacturers carry out production processes manually and on a small scale. Therefore, assistance is needed to increase the capacity and quality of tempe products, as well as to improve the marketing system. Based on the description of the situation analysis and the partners' problems above, the solution to the problem is the mechanization of the production process (exfoliating the epidermis of soybeans with a machine and using special cookers to boil soybeans). In addition, counseling was also carried out regarding effective and efficient tempe production. Each stage of community service activities was documented in the form of photos and videos. Furthermore, the video of the activity was uploaded on the YouTube channel. The results of the community service activities were also disseminated in an international seminar. With this community service activity, partners get double benefits, namely the knowledge and technology of making tempe and obtaining quality production facilities. Thus, partners can become more independent and prosperous.
