Ginger is one of the spices that is widely known by the public. Apart from producing flavor in various food products, ginger is known to be rich in properties and easy to cultivate. Efforts to increase the ability of the post-COVID-19 community to increase income by utilizing the yard for planting ginger and other spices have not been maximized due to a lack of public knowledge about processing plant products. Branches in the Mergangsan PCA environment have a great opportunity to contribute to improving the life skills of Aisyiyah branch mothers to process ginger from their yards into products of economic value. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in the knowledge and insight of women members of Aisyiyah in the Mergangsan District regarding the processing of plant products. The high level of participation and seriousness of Aisyiyah mothers, or 92%, helped to increase the knowledge of Aisyiyah women's members by 96%. Candy products made by trainees have aromas, tastes, and textures that are as expected. Based on monitoring results, as many as 70% of participants after attending the training had tried processing ginger into candy. This indicates that training has high effectiveness and can become an embryo for productive household-scale businesses
