Utilizing Banana Peel Waste to be Used as Liquid Organic Fertilizer for Migrants' Superior Products

Abstract

waste management, particularly banana peels, is becoming an important topic in a global context because of its impact on the environment and economic potential. In this study, community service was carried out to provide knowledge to Indonesian migrants in Malaysia about processing banana peel waste into liquid organic fertilizer. Banana peels contain essential nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus, and calcium that are beneficial for plant growth. This processing has great economic potential considering the high demand for fertilizer in Indonesia. In addition, organic waste treatment also provides new opportunities for migrants to improve their skills and incomes, as well as contribute to the local environment and economy. The results of the training activities showed that migrants showed high enthusiasm and understood the benefits and business potential of banana peel liquid organic fertilizer. Thus, the management of banana peel waste into liquid organic fertilizer is a step that has the potential to benefit both economically and environmentally, as well as provide new opportunities for migrants to contribute to sustainable development.
