        "summary": "A member of Indonesia's House of Representatives has cautioned the government against focusing solely on the numerical target for Village\/Subdistrict Red-and-White Cooperatives (KDKMP). The lawmaker stressed the importance of ensuring clear business models and viable locations to prevent the newly formed cooperatives from becoming neglected. The Minister of Cooperatives responded that the government has prepared feasibility studies and business model designs for the programme's operationalisation.",
        "content": "<p>Member of Commission VI of the Indonesian House of Representatives\n(DPR RI), Darmadi Durianto, has reminded the government not to solely\nfocus on chasing the target number of Village\/Subdistrict Red-and-White\nCooperatives (KDKMP), but also to ensure that the cooperatives\nestablished have a clear business model and are capable of operating\nsustainably. During a working meeting in Jakarta on Thursday, Darmadi\nstated his full support for the KDKMP Programme as an effort to\nstrengthen the people\u2019s economy. However, he argued that the programme\u2019s\nsuccess should not be measured solely by the number of cooperatives\nsuccessfully formed. \u201cWe support this programme. But the question is,\nwas a business feasibility study conducted before the cooperative was\nopened? Is the location strategic and does it have clear business\nopportunities?\u201d Darmadi asked. He revealed that his side had received\nseveral reports regarding cooperative locations deemed unsuitable, with\nsome cooperatives situated in areas with little economic activity or\nadjacent to other cooperatives with similar businesses. He assessed that\nthese conditions need the government\u2019s attention so that the budget\nallocated for cooperative development truly benefits the community. \u201cIf\nthis is continuously implemented without strong verification and\nvalidation, I worry that many KDKMP will become neglected in the future,\nbecause cooperatives must still operate on sound business principles,\u201d\nhe stated. According to him, the success of a cooperative is not\nsufficiently indicated by the establishment of a cooperative\ninstitution, but must also be able to improve the welfare of its members\nand drive the village economy sustainably. Darmadi requested that the\nMinistry of Cooperatives ensure all programmes proposed for 2027 have\nclear success indicators and are oriented towards strengthening the\ncommunity\u2019s economy. Responding to this, Minister of Cooperatives Ferry\nJuliantono stated that the government has prepared business models and\ntraining modules for the Red-and-White Cooperatives to ensure they can\noperate sustainably. Ferry said the Ministry of Cooperatives received a\nmandate through Presidential Instruction Number 9 of 2025 to design the\nbusiness model as well as training materials for cooperative managers.\nAccording to him, the design of the business model is based on a\nbusiness feasibility study so that the cooperative\u2019s operations can run\nin accordance with the economic potential in each region. \u201cWe have\ncreated the design, there is a feasibility study, but once again we will\nimplement this in the operationalisation phase,\u201d he stated. The\ngovernment continues to accelerate the operationalisation of\nVillage\/Subdistrict Red-and-White Cooperatives in various regions,\nhaving previously launched the operationalisation of 1,061 Red-and-White\nCooperatives in Central Java and East Java as the initial stage of the\nprogramme\u2019s implementation. The government also plans to officially\ninaugurate the cooperatives\u2019 operations in stages with a target of up to\n40,000 units operating by the end of 2026.<\/p>",
