Moreover, long-term evaluation of post-training business performance has not been conducted. Contribution: The program makes a tangible contribution to local economic empowerment by utilizing the potential of housewives as human resources. This training model can be replicated in other regions to increase household income while strengthening the food-based MSME sector.]]>
