Empowerment of food & beverage MSMEs in Ponorogo is seen from three dimensions, namely the initial stage which is carried out by building a favorable environment where potential communities can develop with new innovations that are created by business owners. Furthermore, in terms of strengthening empowered communities, chicken & duck food & beverage business owners are still self-taught.
