<![CDATA[Desa Padang Lampe di Kecamatan Ma’rang, Kabupaten Pangkajene dan Kepulauan (Pangkep), merupakan salah satu sentra jeruk besar (Citrus maxima) di Sulawesi Selatan yang memiliki peluang besar untuk pengembangan produk bernilai tambah. Namun, pemanfaatannya masih terbatas pada konsumsi segar dan penjualan langsung, sehingga potensi diversifikasi belum dimaksimalkan. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan ibu-ibu PKK dalam mengolah jeruk besar menjadi produk kosmetik dan pangan sehingga tercipta berbagai bentuk diversifikasi produk. Pelaksanaan kegiatan mencakup sosialisasi, diskusi interaktif, demonstrasi, serta evaluasi melalui pre-test dan post-test. Materi yang diberikan meliputi pemanfaatan jeruk besar, praktik pembuatan lulur krim dari kulit jeruk, kerupuk dari pulp buah, dan minuman segar berbahan jeruk besar. Peserta juga mendapatkan pelatihan mengenai teknik pengemasan serta strategi pemasaran. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan yang nyata pada aspek pengetahuan dan keterampilan. Sebanyak 64% peserta sebelumnya belum pernah melakukan diversifikasi jeruk, namun setelah mengikuti pelatihan mereka mampu menghasilkan tiga jenis produk, yaitu lulur krim kulit jeruk besar, kerupuk pulp jeruk besar, dan minuman segar jeruk besar. Meskipun sebagian besar peserta memahami fungsi media sosial sebagai sarana pemasaran, pemanfaatannya masih belum optimal. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini berhasil mendorong pengembangan diversifikasi produk jeruk besar yang berpotensi mendukung peningkatan ekonomi keluarga berbasis sumber daya lokal. Kata kunci: Jeruk Besar, lulur, kerupuk, minuman, pengabdian kepada masyarakat. ABSTRACT Padang Lampe Village in Ma'rang Subdistrict, Pangkajene and Islands Regency (Pangkep), is one of the centers of pomelo (Citrus maxima) in South Sulawesi that has great potential for the development of value-added products. However, its utilization is still limited to fresh consumption and direct sales, so the potential for diversification has not been maximized. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of PKK women in processing pomelos into cosmetic and food products, thereby creating various forms of product diversification. The activity includes socialization, interactive discussions, demonstrations, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The material provided included the utilization of pamelo, the practice of making cream scrubs from pamelo peel, crackers from fruit pulp, and fresh drinks made from pamelo. Participants also received training on packaging techniques and marketing strategies. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in knowledge and skills. A total of 64% of participants had never diversified pamelo before, but after attending the training, they were able to produce three types of products, namely pamelo peel cream scrub, pamelo pulp crackers, and fresh pamelo drinks. Although most participants understood the function of social media as a marketing tool, its use was still not optimal. Overall, this activity successfully encouraged the development of pamelo product diversification, which has the potential to support the improvement of family-based local resource economies.
