Abstract

Community empowerment is a process that becomes the starting point for community independence in order to improve their own lives by using and accessing local resources as best as possible. This research aims to determine efforts to empower coconut farmers in increasing the income of coconut farmers in. The research was conducted in Selayar Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The population in this study were all coconut farmers in Selayar Regency. Data collection was carried out by means of observation, in-depth interviews with coconut farmers who were selected as respondents. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis. The steps involved start from data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that the forms of empowerment carried out by farmers include counseling and training, but the results have not been optimal in increasing the income of coconut farmers in Selayar Regency. There are several things that are obstacles in empowering coconut farmers, one of which is the lack of awareness of coconut farmers to innovate processed coconut products, namely from processing ordinary copra into white copra. This is due to the limited competencies possessed by farmers such as education level and business group.
