DIVERSIFICATION OF PAPAYA PROCESSING TO INCREASE SALES VALUE AT THE PPJI (PERKUMPULAN PENYELENGGARA JASA BOGA INDONESIA) IN CENTRAL JAVA

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Papaya or carica papaya is a fruit that is very easy to find in Indonesia and is often consumed every day because the price is very affordable. Processing papaya and making it of high value is a problem faced by PPJI (Indonesian Catering Service Providers Association). In response to this problem, the author and the PPJI team held training on making papaya-based food products to increase the selling value of papaya. The training lasted for two days. The aim of this training was to introduce processed papaya which could be modified by PPJI members and used as a food menu. The benefit of this training is to open participants' insight into the value that can be maximized from papaya. This activity has a positive value which can be seen from the participants' responses and willingness to develop papaya values.
