The potentials of papaya fruit reach 10 tons per month or around 140 tons in a year. Papaya agricultural land continues to grow 10 to 20 percent. The problem is that farmers only sell their papaya in a fresh condition, even many are damaged due to too much harvest and not sold in the market. The community does not know about the use of papaya in product development so that the method used to solve the problems of the Karang Joang community, especially RT 19, is to socialize and provide materials related to food diversification.
