Cooperatives have an important role in increasing the research of Salt Fish Farmers. This examines important factors in determining the success of the Salt Farm Cooperative. The urgency of this research is to examine more deeply the success process of salt farmer cooperatives, so that verification and exploration can be carried out in determining government policies. The number of samples is 30 cooperatives. Based on the results of the study that the success of Cooperatives can be measured through active business entities, contributions to development, member satisfaction, business performance, cohesiveness and member participation, member services and service to the community. The implication of this study is that cooperatives that manage salt farmers, the greatest success is the contribution to regional development, therefore local governments need to pay attention to cooperatives, especially capital assistance.
