The Talang Mamak Tribe is a traditional community whose livelihood depends on forest resources and processes these resources for family and communal consumption. They are also familiar with traditional farming systems with simple farming and small-scale plantations.
Talang Mamak women have an important role in managing their farming. In managing rhizomes, women also have a dominant role, where young plants such as chilies, vegetables, sweet potatoes, bananas and other plants are often found in rhizomes. Seeing the large potential of Talang Mamak women in supporting the family economy, KKI WARSI encouraged the formation of a Women's Farmers Group (KWT) which has 23 members as members of Talang Mamak Simarantihan Suo-suo Village. This farmer group forum is not only to develop agricultural potential through women, but also to be a forum for developing crafts which have become a habit for Talang Mamak women.
