Abstract

Smallholder patchouli-oil production requires coordination across cultivation, postharvest handling, distillation, and quality assessment. This article examines an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD)-informed mentoring program in Gaya Baru, Samaenre, Tellangkere, and Polewali Villages, Tellu Limpoe District, Bone Regency, during 2025. Activities included field observation, two focus group discussions (FGDs), plantation mentoring, distillation assistance, and a field discussion of oil quality. The first recorded FGD involved 32 participants: 24 farmers, four village-government representatives, two extension officers, and two program-team members. Field inventories recorded 17 distillation facilities in July and 26 in November, although comparability between inventories has not been established; the difference is not attributed to the intervention. Available records do not demonstrate quantified improvements in farmer competencies, patchouli alcohol content, or compliance with national quality standards. The documented contribution is the organization of existing fields, production experience, processing facilities, and institutional expertise into a quality-oriented mentoring sequence. Future programs should document participatory decisions, maintain batch-level production records, and apply traceable sampling and validated laboratory procedures to assess changes in practices and product quality.
