The Development of Independent Melinjo Entrepreneurship on Housewives at Desa Angsana Kecamatan Mancak [Pengembangan Kewirausahaan Mandiri Berbahan Dasar Melinjo Pada Ibu Rumah Tangga di Desa Angsana Kecamatan Mancak]

Abstract

The entrepreneurship work program is one of the activities at the Kuliah Kerja Mahasiswa Universitas Serang Raya in Desa Angsana, Kecamatan Mancak, Kabupaten Serang. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase the income of the community in Kampung Cigandik and Tampakaso, by empowering housewives. The importance of this activity is due to the high yield of melinjo, which most of the melinjo seeds are sold in raw condition and the rest are made into raw chips, which have a relatively low selling value. Product innovation is needed to increase the value added of melinjo, so it can increase people's income. The implementation of this activity begins with observations to the field, formation of business groups, socialization, and training of participants. After that, assistance is provided so that the product can be marketed. The results obtained are assisted business groups capable of producing snacks based on melinjo independently. After the community service activities are complete, the community can look for alternatives to the development of melinjo-based food products in order to increase the value added so it can increase their household income.

“…Community empowerment is the active participation of the community in an effort to provide empowerment or enhancement through activities in the form of activities carried out jointly between the service team and the community. Community Empowerment aims to make the community independent by realizing the capacity of the community owned (Yulistyari et al, 2024). The challenges of society are seen in ecological, economic, political, social and cultural instability most evident in current conditions are nutritional and health problems (Santi et al, 2019).…”
