Development of Diversified Cassava Processed Products in Kemiri Village, Tanjungsari, Gunungkidul

Abstract

Abstract. Cassava is the main agricultural commodity in Kemiri Village located in Gunungkidul Regency. Commonly, farmers simply sell it raw because it is considered practical and can generate money quickly. Cassava itself has the potential to be developed not only as a raw product but also as a processed product such as cassava chips. With attractive processing and packaging, its added value will rise significantly. This service activity aims to diversify processed cassava products in the form of chips to support the economy of partner communities. This service activity carried out counseling on the potential of cassava development and training on making cassava chips. In this activity, various cassava chip-making tools were also given such as manual or machine chip-making tools. Partners seemed enthusiastic about participating in various series of events. The follow-up plan is related to the development of marketing cassava chips processed by partners.
