MEKARSARI BERTANI APPLICATION BASED ON WEBSITE FOR AGRICULTURAL DATA COLLECTION IN MEKARSARI VILLAGE

Mekarsari Village is one of the villages located in Cimaung District, Bandung Regency. This village already has plantations and quite a lot of agricultural products, especially coffee and secondary crops. The problem is, plantation processing is not easy. Farmers need expensive processing equipment, so intermediaries carry out coffee processing. Farmers only earn 1,000 rupiahs, but in fact, they can earn 10,000 rupiahs per kilogram of green coffee. Therefore, building connections between urban residents who need agricultural raw materials or farmers' plantations directly as investors is necessary. The solution given is a website-based BERTANI application to record agricultural products, farmer data used for farming. The method of making a website with a waterfall is still following the needs. The results from the data site can be used to pursue agricultural products and needs in urban areas to make appropriate and targeted technology applications. The activities carried out are (1) the preparation stage for making tools, (2) the implementation of application socialization, (3) application evaluation. The application results have been proven to positively impact the residents of the Mekarsari village because they can add to the data collection of village harvests. It is hoped that it can become a distributor in the future Mekarsari village and urban investors.
