The low cost of production and the low value of cassava selling demandthe farmer creativity to increase the selling value of cassava as well as the ability of farmers in managerial marketing which can provide more value for the cassava farmers as major manufacturers. Mocaf flour is one solution to raise the peasant economy. Apart from the cheap and easily-obtained raw materials, the Farmers also will have the opportunity to create abusinessas well as their main livelihood as farmers. The Community service method is implemented with multiple stages, which are the preparatory stage, the stage of assessment, the alternative planning stage, the action-plan formulation stage, the implementation stage, the evaluation and monitoring stage, and the termination stage.
