Abstract

Slelos Village in Gangga District, North Lombok Regency has significant agro-climatic potential and agricultural traditions, yet coffee farmers in this village still face limitations in productivity, post-harvest quality, and market access. This article aims to describe the conditions of coffee farmers in Slelos Village and identify the forms of facilitation needed to improve their welfare. The methods used are a literature review, field observation, and descriptive analysis. The analysis shows that farmers face key challenges such as limited capital, low adoption of cultivation technology, weak institutional arrangements, and minimal added value from their coffee products. Therefore, facilitation is needed in the form of plant rejuvenation, implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), strengthening cooperative institutions, post-harvest training, access to financing, and local identity-based marketing support. In that ways, better living, such as no hanger, no poverty, several of the missions of the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals), are hopeful to be realized.
