Peningkatan Kemampuan Petani Dalam Pemenuhan Standar Pasar Ekspor Mangga Melalui Penerapan GAP di Kelompok Tani Margi Mulyo Kecamatan Wuluhan

Abstract

The Margi Mulyo farmer group is one of the farmer groups in Wuluhan District, Jember Regency. The high potential for mango production in Wuluhan District is the main background for the implementation of service with the aim of increasing the capacity of human resources in cultivating mangoes to produce mangoes that can meet national and export market standards through the implementation of good agricultural practices (GAP). The main problem that occurs at the activity location is that mango cultivation is still not standardized by members of farmer groups so that the mango fruit produced does not fully meet market standards. Mangoes are only marketed in a slash system so farmers cannot get high returns on the fruit sold. So the high interest in mangoes as national fruit consumption is not accompanied by mango production according to market standards. The method used in this activity is the active participatory method, in three main activities, namely counseling, implementation, and mentoring. This activity was carried out from August to September 22024. The results of the service activity included an increase in the knowledge of members of the Margi Mulyo farmer group regarding the application of GAP, an increase in farmers' ability to apply mango flowering induction and the use of certified seeds.
