The method of data collection is done by survey technique. The method of sampling is simple random sampling consisting of </em><em>brown </em><em>sugar crafters, collectors, and Central Processing Unit (CPU) of 60 samples. The results showed that the highest profit was in the Central Processing Unit (CPU), then the collectors, and finally at the level of household-scale </em><em>brown </em><em>sugar crafters. This is due to the different business scales, limited capital, and raw materials which become the obstacles of the craftsmen in developing their businesses. While seen from the feasibility of the RC ratio, all RC ratios> 1 means that all businesses in the marketing chain are feasible.</em><em></em></p>
Rural communities have ways to maintain the health of their families, and the community environment by processing plants and herbal products during the Corona Virus Disease-2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. The study aims to design a community empowerment program base on the green economy in preserving herbs as local wisdom. The study used Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) is relevant to the design of empowerment by collecting data through interview dialogue, observation, documentation, and focus group discussions. Research informants were determined through purposive sampling, namely stakeholders in the government of Tegal Regency, Central Java Province in Indonesia, such as the head of the health department and regional technical implementing unit for the Herbal Medicine Tourism (HMT) area in Kalibakung, the Headman of the Kalibakung Village, herbal practitioners, and empowerment groups. Participatory research analysis was used to identify, and categorize problems, prepare action plans, evaluate the entire process, and implement actions. The results of the study showed: (1) The community around the HMT area has not been empowered to cultivate plants and herbal products, so mutually beneficial partnerships have not been established. (2) HMT area in Kalibakung and the surrounding community land have the potential for cultivating herbal plants that can realize health independence for families, and communities, so there need to be empowerment programs. (3) The empowerment programs for the cultivation of plants and herbal products could be started by increasing the motivation and inspiration for the benefits of herbs, knowledge, understanding, and skills of products, and the cultivation of herbal plants in a sustainable manner.
Tempe is a typical Indonesian food made fermented soybeans. Tempe is a good source of nutrition because it contains protein, carbodydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals needed by the body. Soybean used to make tempe must be of good quality. Pliken Village is a tempe production center, because it has the highest number of tempe craftsmen in Banyumas Regency. With the increase in soybean prices which have continued to increase lately, the tempe business has decreased due to lack of capital to continue the business. The purpose of this research are to: 1). Knowing the amount of costs, revenues and income before and after increase in soybean prices in the tempe production business in Pliken Village. 2). Knowing the factors that affect the increase in tempe production costs. The researh was carried out in Pliken Village from May 2021 to July 2021. The target of this research is the tempe craftsmen of Pliken Village who produce for one month. The sampling method uses simple random sampling technique and obtained by respondents as many as 81 craftsmen using the slovin formula. The analytical method used is the analysisno costs and revenues, and multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of the analysis of costs, revenues and income shows the total cost incurred by the craftsmen before the increase in soybean prices and after the increase in soybean prices is Rp. 11,883,809 per month.

While the factors that do not affect the increase in production costs are the price of yeast, the price of plastic and the price of used paper.
Potato farming has a contribution in improving the welfare of potato farmers in Karangreja District. However, a high amount of production does not guarantee farmers get high profits as well. The level of income obtained by farmers depends on the level of production achieved in managing their farm with the support of the application of farming technology and the price received in the sale of their production.
