Strengthening Village Cooperative Role, 700 KDKMP Targeted as Partners by 2026
Koperasi Kana is continuing to expand cooperation with Village and Subdistrict Red and White Cooperatives (KDKMP) across East Java and Sumatra. To date, 325 KDKMP units have been registered as partners.
As part of this cooperation, Koperasi Kana provides operational support of IDR 2 million per month to each partnered village cooperative. Additionally, the cooperatives gain access to essential goods procurement through a consignment scheme without upfront payment (down payment), with transaction values reaching IDR 200 million per month for each KDKMP.
Koperasi Kana Chairman Jonathan Danang Wardhana stated that the cooperation scheme was designed to strengthen the operational capacity of village cooperatives, particularly in conducting operations and maintaining supply of goods.
“We are building this cooperation so that village cooperatives have stronger business foundations. Not only to be connected as partners, but also to receive operational support and access to goods procurement that are needed to operate in the field,” said Jonathan on Tuesday (17 March 2026).
According to him, village cooperatives require a partnership model that is not burdensome in the initial stage, but still provides room for business development. Therefore, he continued, the consignment system without upfront payment is considered a relevant scheme to support the movement of cooperative business at village and subdistrict levels.
Jonathan added that the achievement of 325 KDKMP served as the foundation to expand the reach of partnership. Koperasi Kana is targeting the number of partners to increase to 700 KDKMP by 2026.
“We set this target because we see the needs in the field are indeed significant. The more village cooperatives connected in cooperation like this, the greater the opportunity for cooperatives to grow healthily and provide real economic impact in their communities,” he said.
He hopes the partnership expansion can strengthen the role of village cooperatives, not only institutionally but also in business activities that provide direct benefits to communities.
