Abstract

This Village has several village mainstay products, or Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) products, which are made directly by the local community and then used as souvenirs typical of Hariara Pohan Village. These products are Sasagun Snack (rice flour mixed with coconut and then roasted with brown sugar or just simple white sugar), Tipa-tipa Snack (Comes from young rice seeds, known as a typical Batak cereal), dodol sticky rice, and Bandrek Mallatam. These MSME products are still infrequently promoted through digital media (e-marketing). Researchers are interested in conducting a study and finding the obstacles or causes of Hariara Pohan Tourism Village MSME product underpromotion on social media accounts in Hariara Pohan Village, Samosir Regency.
