Pelatihan Inovasi Olahan Pangan Lokal Gemblong Lumer Sebagai Produk Kreatif Desa Bojong, Wonosegoro, Boyolali

Abstract

The training on local food innovation “Gemblong Lumer with Various Flavors” in Bojong Village, Wonosegoro District, Boyolali Regency, is an effort to empower the community by increasing the added value of cassava as a village’s leading commodity. This activity was carried out using a participatory approach through education, hands-on practice, and mentoring for housewives and MSME actors. Gemblong Lumer, a modification of traditional snacks made from cassava and coconut with modern fillings such as chocolate and cheese, has succeeded in attracting consumers across different market segments. The results show significant improvement in community skills in processing cassava into creative products, a better understanding of digital marketing, and stronger motivation for entrepreneurship. The positive impacts include increasing the market value of cassava, creating new business opportunities, and strengthening the competitiveness of local culinary potential in both local and regional markets. Furthermore, the sustainability of this program is expected to enhance the capacity of village MSMEs to innovate, diversify products, and build strong culinary branding based on local potential, enabling them to compete more sustainably
