Abstract

This activity is motivated by utilizing natural resources by processing chayote into crackers with high selling value. This initiative targets housewives as the main partners, providing them with skills to diversify food products and increase the economic value of their agricultural products. The methods used include outreach about the benefits of food diversification, practical training in processing and packaging chayote crackers, as well as assistance in obtaining a Business Identification Number (NIB) for product legality. The program was well received, resulting in increased knowledge and skills among participants. In addition, NIB management paves the way for sustainable formal business. This program not only succeeded in increasing the economic value of chayote, but also strengthened the local economy, emphasizing the importance of utilizing local resources for sustainable community development.
