Lisna said the Ndelik market had been appointed as the target of implementation of appropriate technology of natural colouring due its promising potential in Yogyakarta. DIfferent from other traditional markets in Yogyakarta, the Ndelik market situated in the Puri Mataraman area uses Pandel in trade activities and minimises plastic use. Due to this aspect, the team chose the area as their community service project in terms of natural colouring materials to improve consumer’s trust to purchase food products from the Ndelik market
