BIMTEK PEMBUATAN PRODUK OLAHAN PANGAN BERBASIS TEPUNG PISANG DI DESA SUAK KABUPATEN LAMPUNG SELATAN

Indonesia has a diversity of bananas, both fresh bananas and processed bananas. There are more than 200 types of bananas in Indonesia. This great diversity provides an opportunity for the Indonesian state to utilize it for further processing. Lampung Province is one of 16 provinces throughout Indonesia which are centers of banana production, one of which is in Suak Village, South Lampung Regency. Based on the situation analysis that has been described, the problem faced by the Women Farmers Group in Suak Village, Sidomulyo District, South Lampung Regency is the abundance of banana commodities and has not been utilized optimally. The increase in banana production leads to a surplus where if use is delayed or if all bananas are not sold or eaten, bananas become too ripe and damaged, making them inedible, as a result, many bananas are sold cheaply or even thrown away. One alternative solution to the problems faced by the Women Farmers Group in Suak Village is to provide technical guidance and assistance regarding the manufacture of banana flour and various processed foods based on banana flour that have economic value. The result of this activity is an increase in the added value of bananas and an increase in the economic income of women farmers groups. &nbsp
