Pelatihan Kelompok Petani Perempuan Desa Kaduara Timur melalui Diversifikasi Olahan Singkong

Abstract

East Kaduara Village is one of the villages in Pragaan Madura District with the majority of residents working as farmers. The potential commodity in the village is the cassava plant. Farmers generally sell the cassava directly without having to go through a processing process first. Post-harvest processing technology and diversification of processed products made from cassava that have not been implemented have caused the cassava harvest to pile up and have a low selling value, so it needs to be socialized and developed together. This program aims to provide knowledge and skills in processing cassava as a business product for farmwomens in East Kaduara Village. It is also hoped that the processed products resulting from the service can become a mainstay product and characteristic of East Kaduara Village. Service activities consist of providing materials and training followed by distributing questionnaires to measure the level of achievement of the socialization and training carried out.
