“Speaking at a press conference here on Friday, Juliantono said that as of January this year, as many as 27,191 Red and White Co-ops are under construction. The physical development of the cooperatives, along with warehouses and supporting equipment, is projected to be completed in March or by April 2026 at the latest.”
“He explained that in addition to physical buildings, the readiness of supervisors, management, and cooperative management information systems is also being prepared so that the cooperatives can operate immediately after the physical development is completed.”
“He added that the 27 thousand cooperatives currently under construction will serve as the first phase of the target to build 80 thousand cooperatives, which will soon undergo operational trials.”
“It is expected that these cooperatives can serve as a driving force for the village economy, strengthen community self-reliance, and at the same time realize equitable national economic development.”
