In Panca Mukti Village, cassava has traditionally been processed only into simple products such as boiled cassava or fermented cassava (tapai), while cassava peels are generally discarded as waste. This community service program aimed to increase entrepreneurial interest through training in the production of cassava-based processed products, namely cassava flour and scrub powder made from cassava peel waste. The implementation method consisted of three stages: (1) an educational stage involving the delivery of material on the benefits of cassava and economically valuable cassava-based products; (2) a training stage focusing on hands-on practice in producing cassava flour and cassava peel scrub powder; and (3) an evaluation stage assessing community understanding before and after the program through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The activity involved 20 members of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK). The results showed a significant increase in the mean post-test scores compared to the pre-test scores, indicating improved community understanding of the benefits of cassava and its potential for value-added business development. Statistical analysis using SPSS (Paired Sample t-test) demonstrated a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p = 0.00). In addition, participants acquired practical skills in processing cassava and cassava peel waste into cassava flour and scrub powder, which have potential as entrepreneurial products. In conclusion, this community service program successfully enhanced the knowledge and skills of the Panca Mukti Village community regarding the benefits of cassava and the development of cassava-based processed products with entrepreneurial potential.
