The need for food consumption will always increase, so the processed pangen cluster MSMEs are predicted to continue to grow significantly so that they can meet the necessary food needs. The Cooperative and MSME Agency of Semarang City noted that processed food products still dominate the types of SMEs in Semarang City at 55%. However, these SMEs still market their products in a simple way, where they make products based on what they can do and sell their products without any maximum effort.

In a broader scope, it can advance the potential development of MSMEs in the processed food sector in the city of Semarang.
