Abstract

Probolinggo Regency is one of the centers of shallot production in East Java, but farmers in this region still face the challenge of low added value due to their dependence on the sale of fresh products. This community service activity aims to empower farmer groups through training in the diversification of processed shallot products in order to increase sales value and economic independence. The article was written using a qualitative approach with four main stages: socialization and mapping of farmer groups, practical training in making fried onions, onion oil, and shallot powder, business assistance, and evaluation and monitoring. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the technical skills, managerial understanding, and entrepreneurial motivation of the participants. The processed products have potential in local and digital markets and encourage the formation of community-based micro-business units. The evaluation results show an increase in participants' knowledge and skills. This activity proves that practice-based training and intensive mentoring can be effective strategies in empowering farmers and developing the local economy. This model has the potential to be replicated in other regions with similar characteristics.
