The COVID-19 pandemic has had a very bad impact and decreased income in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector. An effort is needed that can increase the marketing of MSME products that are in accordance with consumer conditions. There are still many MSME actors who market their products in stores and in the market which are not in accordance with the conditions in the field. Continuous training and assistance are needed in introducing a marketing system that is in accordance with the conditions of the times. One of them is marketing using online media. Based on these circumstances, this study aims to determine efforts to increase the marketing of MSME commodities in Tasikmalaya Regency during the Covid-19 pandemic through training and mentoring programs. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. The data used were obtained from interviews with the help of a questionnaire given to MSME actors. Based on the results obtained, the use of online media in marketing MSME products was 19%. From the results of the analysis, it is found that the level of ability to use digital technology is 26%, which means that there are still many MSME actors who do not understand using digital technology, especially in creating online stores. Therefore, continuous training and assistance are needed in improving the understanding of MSME actors and keeping up with the times.

In terms of the contribution of public expenditure, it appears that the 20% group (upper class) reaches 45.49% of the total national consumption, the 40% group (middle class) contributes 36.78%, and the 40% group (lower class) only contributes 17%. Middle and upper income groups whose income is not disturbed tend to choose to save rather than spend their money, considering that no one knows when the Covid-19 pandemic will end and when the situation will return to normal. Deflation in July and August 2020 was triggered more by falling prices for a number of food, beverage and transportation groups, indicating the large demand in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decline in spending amid the Covid-19 pandemic is mainly triggered by the weakening of the purchasing power of the lower class and the tendency of the upper middle segment to withhold spending resulting in further pressure on the income of small and medium enterprises. Based on the results of the ADB survey, it can be seen that 61.1% of MSMEs in Indonesia reduced the number of workers in March 2020, 59.8% of MSMEs reduced workers in March 2020, and 59.8% of MSMEs reduced workers in April 2020.With a contribution of 61.1% to Gross Domestic Product, the recovery of the ultra-micro and MSME sectors is very urgent amidst the pressure of the Covid-19 pandemic. Ultra-micro financing based on digital technology is intended to accelerate penetration and financial inclusion, considering that ultra-micro business actors still have difficulty accessing bank financing due to various factors, such as not having a bank account

The Covid-19 pandemic and industrial disruption 4.0 have changed the socio-economic order; it also affects this type of industry. One of the challenges faced by MSMEs and Cooperatives today is the low accounting literacy and financial governance, coupled with the transformation of the socio-economic order from conventional to digital systems. One solution to increase the skill and knowledge of MSMEs and Cooperatives to the digital system related to accounting literacy and financial governance is through training, mentoring, and research. Pieces of training, mentoring, and research on MSMEs and Cooperative members are conducted by interacting directly through face-to-face and field observation. The implications of the results of this training, mentoring and study, recommend that the training and mentoring undertaken by academics in synergy with Cooperatives and MSMEs Government need to continue to be carried out on an ongoing basis. With continuous training and mentoring, literacy, and accounting skills based on SAK ETAP and financial governance based on Android, MSMEs can be improved to achieve the business's efficiency and performance. Especially in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic and the new normal, MSMEs are still available to exist and compete in the business competition.
