Food products from banana trees were chosen because they have good prospects, besides the fruit there are other parts that can be used, namely banana humps. Because of the benefits and high nutritional content, it is necessary to diversify from banana humps to be sold. The purpose of this activity is to inspire partners about the idea and spirit of entrepreneurship using sources of raw materials that are easy to obtain, so they can increase income.
