Cavendish banana Musa acuminata, is one of the endemic plants in North Sulawesi, particularly Minahasa. The fruit is generally consumed after fried or boiled. Nowadays M. acuminate can be processed to make flour and used as material of many different fresh or dried cookies, such as cake, brownish, biscuit and many others. According to Sondakh (1990), M. acuminata flour contains 80.89% carbohydrate, 2.89% protein, 0.67% fat, and 2% coarse fiber. Therefore, the potential of M. acuminata flour processing gives more variable development opportunity that indirectly involves in accelerating the national food security achievement. The output target of this Community Partnership Program (CPP) is to make all Family Prosperity Construction (FPC) stakeholders be able to work as M. acuminata flour-based biscuit entrepreneurs using box packaging agreed, and all FPC stakeholders can manage the business cash flow well. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
