Pawon Gendis Women Farmers Group is one of the women farmer groups in Banjarharjo Village, Kalibawang District, Kulon Progo Regency Yogyakarta which was founded in 2013 with the main objective to process local food sources to support food security in Kulon Progo Regency. Together with 42 members, Pawon Gendis has succeeded in having the superior product ‘Manihot’ made from cassava with a PIRT (house hold processing certification) and halal distribution permit from LPOM MUI. Apart from agricultural products, fish based food are also easy to find in Banjarharjo – but this has not been utilized optimally. For this reason, through guidance provided by the Department of Fisheries, UGM Faculty of Agriculture, Pawon Gendis has begun to produce fish products in a good and zero waste way, so as to produce quality processed fish products to maximize the goals of women farmer groups that are able to support food security, especially in regencies.
