A Merah Putih Village Cooperative can operate six types of businesses: cheap grocery stores, savings and loan units, village pharmacies or clinics, warehouses, logistics and distribution services, and businesses tailored to the local village's potential.

Why is it important to avoid the same individuals being chosen repeatedly as administrators of the cooperative?

It is important to avoid repeating administrators to ensure proper cadre development and prevent stagnation. The process should involve identifying new human resources to ensure that leadership is fresh, diverse, and able to focus on the cooperative’s growth.

What is the purpose of the special village meeting (Musdesus)?

The special village meeting (Musdesus) is a platform to discuss and decide the cooperative's name, the business type, the initial capital, and the selection of administrators and supervisors, ensuring democratic participation from the whole village.

What is the key advice regarding the establishment of village cooperatives?
