Governor Reveals Several Kopdes Merah Putih in Central Java Built on Protected Agricultural Land

SEMARANG – Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi has stated that a number of Red and White Village/Sub-district Cooperatives (KDKMP) have been established on Sustainable Food Agricultural Land (LP2B). Under existing regulations, LP2B land is actually prohibited from being converted to other uses.

“There are several of our KDKMPs located on LP2B land,” Luthfi revealed after a meeting with the National Strategy for Corruption Prevention (Stranas PK) team, which was also attended by regents and mayors across Central Java, at the Gradhika Bhakti Praja building in Semarang on Monday (13/6/2026).

Luthfi added that the Stranas PK team has already documented the KDKMPs in Central Java that stand on LP2B land. He disclosed that two main issues were discussed with the Stranas PK team, one of which concerned the revitalisation of LP2B.

According to Luthfi, regarding the existence of buildings standing on LP2B land, including KDKMPs, his administration is currently carrying out mapping and data collection. “We will later consult with the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning,” he said.
