Many people do not know that mangroves can be consumed and the bark can be used as fabric coloring.

Pedada is one type of mangrove that grows abundantly throughout the coastal areas of Indonesia. Therefore, this program aims to process mangroves into processed food products. The method used in this program is a trial of making mangrove syrup, mangrove-related socialization, and mangrove fruit processing demo.
