<![CDATA[Lonuo Village is located in Tilongkabila District, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo. Kasubi crackers are a typical snack produced by one of the Lonuo Bukit Arang Kasubi Crackers UKMs. Kasubi crackers are made from cassava, tapioca flour, baking soda, and brown sugar, while other production requirements are cooking oil, LPG gas, gasoline, firewood, raffia rope, and plastic packaging. Meanwhile, other supporting tools in the kasubi cracker production process are plastic plates, steamer frames, steaming pans, molding tanks, sweet potato grinding machines, and para-paras as attachments for manual drying. The manual drying place used by IKM consists of 3 bamboo-based lamps measuring 7 x 13 meters for the entire cracker drying place. The drying process using bamboo sheets has many disadvantages, including drying time which takes 4 to 5 drying hours in sunny weather, unpredictable weather, less hygienic, and tends to be contaminated with bacteria because the location of the IKM is opposite the location of the Final Processing Site (TPA) for waste disposal.
