The Improving Skills Through Training and Processing Fresh Red Chilli into Fish Chili Sauce

The training activity for making ready-to-eat tuna and squid sambal for MSMEs and PKK Mothers' Groups in Pabean Village, Dringu District, Trenggalek Regency is a community service activity through the UPN Mengabdi program funded by LPPM UPN “Veteran” Jawa Timur. This activity was held at the Pabean Village Sub-district Office and was attended by 30 participants from MSMEs, PKK Mothers' Groups, and Pabean Village officials. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of MSMEs and PKK Mothers' Groups in Pabean Village in increasing the economic value of shallots and fresh fish into ready-to-eat sambal that has added economic value and increases the selling value when compared to selling shallots and fresh fish in raw form. The implementation method in this activity uses a participatory method, namely the involvement of participants. Participants are given material about the raw materials and measurements used, such as shallots, garlic, cayenne pepper, red chili, tomatoes, tuna, squid, sugar, salt, and flavorings. Then the participants were invited to do a direct simulation of making squid chili sauce and tuna fish chili sauce. Furthermore, participants were drilled to calculate the cost of HPP in one package of chili sauce. With this training, it is expected that there will be an increase in the skills of MSMEs and PKK Mothers' Groups in processing agricultural and fishery products into ready-to-eat chili sauce products so as to increase the selling value and family economy.
