Kuningan Regency is the area that has potential in agriculture. One of the leading commodities in Kuningan Regency is sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L). Sweet potato cultivation continues to be developed, even in Cilimus District, it is known as one of the productive production centers in the West Java region which provides sweet potato supplies to several areas to supply sweet potato needs in the West Java region. The problems are faced by farmers today including the increasingly erratic price of sweet potatoes, lack of market opportunities, product diversification, and mastery of cultivation technology. This service activity was carried out in Cilimus Village, Cilimus District, Kuningan Regency with partners of sweet potato farmers. The purpose of this assistance is to provide supply chain assistance for sweet potato marketing so that farmers are able to continuously market sweet potatoes above the production price. Mentoring activities were started from identification of sweet potato problems at the farmer level, identification of production and identification of markets. The using of method is interactive discussion and market mapping conducted together with farmers. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was used to confirm the cultivation system, production, and marketing system of sweet potato. The result of this activity is that farmers know the marketing potential of sweet potatoes other than middlemen and the quality criteria of sweet potatoes according to industry demand. In addition, farmers also use sweet potatoes as animal feed.

The fungi Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon and Fusarium proliferatum (Matsushima) Nirenberg produce a series of toxins on corn which include the fumonisins of which fumonisin B1 and B2 are considered to have cancer promoting activity. Both fungi produce similar ratios of the fumonisins B1 to B2. Other mycotoxins produced include moniliformin, fusarin C and fusaric acid. Fumonisin B1 has been shown to be responsible for most of the toxicological affects observed from ingesting corn infected by toxigenic isolates of these fungi. The distribution of the two fungi is generally similar, although F. proliferatum is isolated more frequently from sorghum than corn. They occur worldwide on other food crops, such as rice, sorghum, millet, several fruits and vegetables. Both fungi are ear rot pathogens of corn, thus, mycotoxin production occurs under field conditions, although it also may occur in storage. One or both fungi may have a frequency of occurrence of 90% or higher in corn; 90% of the F. moniliforme isolates produce the fumonisins. On corn and corn products the range of concentrations reported is 0.3 to 330 μg/g of corn-based product. These concentrations include both corn-based animal feed and human foods.

The increased importance of cactus as livestock feed in arid and semiarid zone is due to its availability during critical dry months of the year. Availability of feeds for livestock is a major constraint to livestock production in drylands of Ethiopia, specifically Tigray region. This study was conducted in Maru dryland areas of Raya-Azebo, Tigray region of Ethiopia. The purpose of the study was to generate information on current and future utilization of cactus as cattle feed in minor and severe drought episodes. The study has employed multiple qualitative methods that include focus group discussion, key informant interview, field observation and review of relevant literature. The study result conveyed livestock feed shortage are caused by frequent drought, degradation of grazing land by increased number of animals and human population. Accordingly, in dry spells and drought times, mostly March to June the local farmers are highly depend on cactus as supplementary animal forage. Due to the increased frequency of drought and animal feed shortage draught oxen and lactating cow are primarily fed on cactus of other livestock types. The process of cactus preparation and cattle feeding is tough task because it takes enormous time and labor. Nevertheless of its role, the future use of Opuntia ficus-indica is threatened by farmland expansion, prevalence of cochineal insect, and increased number of camel. Therefore, for sustainable usage of Opuntia ficus-indica in the future further study on control of cochineal insect and promotion of cactus planting on degraded lands is recommended.
