Abstract:
Indonesia is a country rich in forest products. One of which is Gaharu, a treeless forest
product with high economic value for the perfume, incense, and pharmaceutical industries.
Gaharu in Indonesia comes from gaharu trees that are infected with bacteria so that the result
is gaharu. Many aloes grow in Indonesia, one of which is in the settlement around the PT
Arutmin Indonesia mine. In this case, the community needs science and technology to
optimally utilize the abundant gaharu in their area. The purpose of this service is to provide
science and technology as well as additional skills in utilizing gaharu effectively and quickly.
The community was very enthusiastic in this service activity by actively participating in
activities both from socialization to the practice of making gaharu sapwood inoculation. The
manufacture of gaharu sapwood by inoculation is carried out using a drilling machine by
wounding the trunk of the gaharu tree and then the wound is given bacteria that can make
gaharu produce resin that is useful and of high selling value.
