Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs (Menko Pangan) Zulkifli Hasan or Zulhas revealed that the economic ecosystem in rural areas must be built in order to prosper rural communities.
"We have to build an economic ecosystem in villages, not only in cities," said Zulhas as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 28.
According to him, most villages that are not prosperous will try their luck to the city.
This caused the village to lose its young people due to the large number that migrated to the city.
"So we have to build an economy in the countryside," said Zulhas.
Previously, the Coordinating Minister for Food Zulkifli Hasan said that the establishment of the Red and White Cooperative was to build a healthy economic ecosystem in rural or sub-district areas.
The economic ecosystem in the village must be built so that villages can develop, villages are more creative, and young people can work.
The economic ecosystem can be understood as a system that is interconnected or integrated, supporting each other in various economic aspects, both in terms of production, distribution or consumption.
He explained that the presence of the Red and White Cooperative was to answer various village community concerns, such as farmers, fishermen or MSMEs who faced long and tengkulak supply chains.

The solution for the Red and White Cooperative is to cut the nape and supply chain, thus making prices more certain and profitable.
Then other problems, such as the price of basic necessities is unstable and expensive because they depend on suppliers outside the region, the Red and White Cooperative can strengthen a more efficient local distribution system.
The Red and White Cooperative is projected to have a variety of business units, such as basic necessities, savings and loan stores, village clinics, village pharmacies, warehouses, and village logistics.
