Today Poktan faces a big problem related to productivity during the Covid-19 period. Previously, Karya Bersama farmers were a productive society.

Second, TTG in processing palm oil and livestock waste in the form of plates, mats, briquettes and fertilizers. In the long term, this empowerment activity is expected to be a productivity lever for self-help Poktan, especially during the pandemic.
