Abstract

In Buru Regency, Waimiting Village is one of the eucalyptus oil processing centers. Processed eucalyptus oil products still have obstacles in marketing management in the community. The lack of optimization of farmers' marketing management institutions has had an economic impact on farmers' welfare. Therefore, training on the use of social media for marketing eucalyptus oil products is important to be carried out to increase the empowerment of farmers in fulfilling income which then leads to the welfare of farmers. The objective of this program is to support the growth of small businesses owned by a group of social entrepreneurship-based entrepreneurs and eucalyptus oil distillation centers. The research was conducted using participatory surveys, observations, lectures, discussions, and silent practice, involving about 12 people who are members of the "Kayu Putih Lestari" farmer group. The results of the program implementation showed the seriousness and enthusiasm of the participants in each training session. Program partners were able to understand a number of technical issues, such as social media-based marketing management, utilization of social media marketing, and brand creation agreements for eucalyptus oil distillation-based business ventures from farmer groups in Waimiting Village. They also showed an increase in understanding by 14 points (80%) during the training. Participants were also able to put the training into practice during the learning sessions.
