  • The call to action involves shopping at neighborhood stores and refraining from bargaining.
  • This initiative aims to bolster the local economy and support small business owners.

Anya Dwinika, a member of the Bogor City Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), is urging the community to actively support local small and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM). She advocates for residents to prioritize shopping at neighborhood stores as a means of strengthening the local economy.

Somaddikarya's appeal emphasizes a specific approach to patronage: she encourages shoppers not to bargain with local vendors. This suggestion aims to ensure that small business owners receive the full value for their products, thereby providing more substantial support to their enterprises.

The initiative is designed to foster a sense of community and mutual support, encouraging a culture where residents invest in their neighbors' businesses. By choosing to shop locally and foregoing price negotiations, Bogor residents can directly contribute to the sustainability and growth of UMKM in their area.

Let's shop at our neighbor's shop, don't bargain.
