Minister Reveals 15,845 Red and White Village Cooperatives Fully Completed

Cooperatives Minister Ferry Juliantono has revealed that the construction of 15,845 Red and White Village Cooperatives (KDMP) has been 100 per cent completed. These KDMPs have not only finalised their permits but also completed their physical buildings, warehouses, outlets, and supporting equipment. Minister Ferry made the statement during his speech at the peak of the 79th Cooperative Day commemoration in 2026 at the Indonesia Arena GBK, Jakarta, on Sunday, 12 July 2026. “A total of 83,000 legal entity deeds for the Red and White Village Cooperatives (KDMP) have been completed. Then, those with 100 per cent completion of physical buildings, warehouses, outlets, and equipment total 15,845,” Ferry said. Meanwhile, the number of KDMP currently under construction stands at 19,539, he continued. “Currently, 19,539 KDMP are under construction, out of a total of approximately 35,000,” Ferry stated. Along with the completion of training and education for KDMP managers in early August 2026, he said they will be placed in all KDMPs where the construction of physical buildings, outlets, and equipment has been finished. On that occasion, he requested President Prabowo Subianto to inaugurate the operationalisation of the KDMPs, which is planned for August 2026. “With your permission, we would also like the President to inaugurate the operations of the Red and White Village Cooperatives, God willing, in August,” said Minister Ferry. The Ministry of Cooperatives held the peak of the 79th Cooperative Day commemoration in 2026, which was also attended by President Prabowo Subianto and ministers of the Red and White Cabinet. The government is targeting 40,000 KDMPs to be operational by the end of 2026 as part of efforts to strengthen the village economy. Deputy Minister of Cooperatives Farida Farichah said the government is currently focusing not only on completing the physical construction of the cooperatives but also on preparing human resources to manage the KDMPs professionally. To this end, the government is providing training for prospective managers to understand cooperative governance, business management, and service to members and the community.
