This activity is also the output of the PPK Ormawa BEM FEB Unud Team program and the first step of the Wedang Karsa Business Meeting activities. The PPK Ormawa BEM FEB Unud Implementation Team also made this event for market research and as an early-stage evaluation because this is the first time a coffee product has been produced. Therefore, market research is very important to do in order to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the product from the consumer's point of view and improve the quality of Wedang Karsa Coffee.

 

 

With the support and platform from various parties from both the campus and Karyasari Village, the PPK Ormawa Team of BEM FEB Unud finally succeeded in empowering the Karyasari Village community and optimizing coffee production to get the opportunity to bring Wedang Karsa products to the FEB Unud Anniversary event.
