Siamese pumpkin contains various nutrients including vitamin B complex and folate, and is low in calories. In addition, these vegetables contain antioxidants, flavonoids, and other compounds that function to optimize children's cognitive development. One of the challenges in Siamese pumpkin cultivation in Cipasang Village is post-harvest sales where farmers often fall victim to middlemen because of low prices.

The targets of community empowerment activities are farmers and MSMEs related to siamese pumpkin cultivation. Community service activities are carried out through the stages of preliminary study, implementation, and evaluation. The implementation stages start from making demplots on partner-owned land to prepare for seeding and planting chayote, planting as many as 50 plants as a pilot for residents, and introducing processed siamese pumpkin products. The yield of the plant showed good growth and began the production of fruits of fairly good size. Processed cultivation innovation in the form of flour and used as raw material for various finished preparations such as cakes and crackers. Abstrak.
