<![CDATA[Bolo village is very promising to be developed as a village agro-industry with its lime fruits product. However, the price fluctuations and a decrease in quality during the shelf life of fresh lime have become challenges. This problem was identified by the UISI 2020 Student Community Service group. The goal of this community service is to find alternative solutions for making lime agro-industry based production, which is in the form of post-harvest processing of lime into jam. The implementation steps are (1) analysis of environmental conditions; (2) jam production; (3) calculation of the nutritional value of jam; (4) product packaging and branding; (5) calculation of production costs; (6) socialization of the "Bolo Jam" product, and 7) evaluation. This activity combines lecturing methods and hands-on training to the community, involving academics, lime farmers, and the community of Bolo village. The level of success measured from qualitative observations related to product acceptance. Although only 60% of the participants were enthusiastic about lime jam products, the society got an understanding of the agroindustry concept and planned to develop lime-based agroindustry products.]]>
