Dragon fruit farmers in Samboja District, especially members of the women's farmer group in Sei Merdeka Village, face several problems. When they enter the harvest period, dragon fruit is attacked by plant pests. Dragon fruit is only a few and is supplied by middlemen who are also buyers of the dragon fruit harvest. Middlemen buy the dragon fruit at a meager price compared to market prices. On the other hand, farmers cannot sell dragon fruit themselves directly in supermarkets or in traditional markets. This PKM activity will provide training on how to plant dragon fruit, so that plant pests do not attack it to partner members of the women farmer groups and PKK women's groups. This effort can break the dependence of women farmer group members on middlemen.
