The coffee beans produced by this method will double the selling price. This community development program uses a workshop method involved 15 traditional coffee farmers from Telemung vilage, Banyuwangi. For evalution purpose, before and after the training, farmers' understanding of the honey process method was tested using a pre-test and post-test.
