The government has to anticipate the decline in public interest in joining cooperatives. Diversifying cooperatives can be an entry point to answer the needs of the community at small and micro levels. Strengthening the spirit of mutual cooperation is the door to reinforcing the prestige of the cooperatives in the eyes of the public.
The decline in public interest in joining cooperatives was reflected in the results of an opinion poll conducted by Kompas in early July. A total of 13.4 respondents in the survey said they were no longer members of a cooperative. As many as 72.2 percent of respondents said that they have never been members of a cooperative.
