Gunggungan Lor Village, Pakuniran District, Probolinggo Regency, is known as an agricultural area with chili as a superior commodity that is the main source of community income. However, the instability of chili prices is often a challenge, causing potential losses for farmers, to overcome this problem, innovation is needed in processing harvest results to increase added value and reduce the impact of price fluctuations. This study aims to develop chili processing into chili powder as a long-term economic solution for farmers, the method used is asset based community development (ABCD) which involves farmers, PKK mothers and village officials in the socialization and training of making high-quality chili powder. This activity begins with a discussion with farmers to face the challenges they face, such as unstable chili prices and limited market access. Training includes the production process, packaging strategies, and marketing techniques so that products can reach a wider market. The results of this study indicate that innovation not only helps farmers reduce the risk of loss due to fluctuating chili prices, but also improves the approach by opening up new business opportunities. In addition, processing chili into chili powder extends the shelf life of the product and expands distribution to a larger market, so this local resource-based approach can strengthen the village economy and improve the welfare of farmers in Gunggungan Lor village
