Puasana Village, located in North Moramo District, South Konawe Regency, possesses significant potential for patchouli commodities. However, the raw material chopping process is still carried out manually, which is not yet optimal in supporting farmer productivity. This Thematic Integrated Student Community Services (KKN) Program was implemented to provide a solution through Appropriate Technology (TTG) intervention in the form of a patchouli chopping machine that is simple, easy to operate, and tailored to the community's needs. Activities included student briefing, coordination with the village government, program socialization, technical guidance, demonstrations, and direct trial runs of the equipment by patchouli farmers. Students also provided training on the fabrication, operation, and maintenance of the tool under the guidance of the Field Supervising Lecturer (DPL). The results of the activity demonstrated an increase in farmers' knowledge and skills in utilizing patchouli chopping technology, along with a positive response from the Puasana Village Government toward the application of appropriate technology. This program is expected to increase chopping process efficiency, enhance farmer productivity, and encourage the sustainable use of technology through synergy between higher education institutions, village governments, and the community.
