Abstract
Curly red chili peppers have high economic value due to their spiciness and use as a raw material for consumption. The productivity of curly red chili peppers in the field is often misaligned with market demand, causing inflation in this volatile food group. Price fluctuations due to market-driven supply instability caused inflation. One strategy to help overcome inflation is to increase productivity in the field by using superior plant varieties alongside cultivation technology packages. IPB has produced a superior variety of curly red chili peppers, NENO IPB, and sweet corn, ARINTA IPB accompanied by a cultivation technology package, DURMAGATI IPB. Community service activities carried out in Tulang Bawang Barat District, Lampung, aimed to adapt superior variety innovations and accompanying cultivation technology packages for farmers to achieve high productivity and thus reduce price fluctuations for curly red chili peppers. The activity began with socialization of the superior variety Neno IPB and Arinta IPB, accompanied by effective cultivation technology, followed by planting on a demonstration-plot scale in the Mulya Asri farmer group, with intensive assistance for 6 months. The results showed that farmers began to understand and adapt the NENO IPB variety, accompanied by the cultivation technology package. In addition, the productivity of NENO IPB curly red chili peppers in the demonstration plot reached 972 g per plant. It was concluded that the dissemination of superior variety innovations, accompanied by cultivation technology packages, can help increase the availability of chilies in the market, thereby suppressing price fluctuations and reducing volatile food inflation.
