Indonesia KDKMP program rollout and expansion targets

Overview

The Koperasi Desa/Kelurahan Merah Putih (KDKMP) program continues to expand its role within Indonesia’s rural economy. To support infrastructure, the government prepared approximately Rp40 trillion for loan installments due in late September 2026. A task force involving the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Cooperatives, and the State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency aims to utilize KDKMP as a strategic channel for subsidized goods and national logistics.

Following a Presidential Regulation, the program entered an operational phase in late 2026. By September, approximately 23,000 cooperative buildings were reported as complete, with 17,288 equipped with necessary facilities. The government targeted October 1, 2026, for the placement of approximately 28,620 managers under PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara. To address public scrutiny regarding non-local assignments, officials explained that the ‘Hungarian Bipartite Matchmaking Method’ is used to balance candidate qualifications with building readiness.

Logistical integration is advancing: Perum Bulog prepared to support at least 100 pilot cooperatives with SPHP rice by late October 2026. While some regions like Serang faced delays due to land availability, others like Blitar reported daily turnovers exceeding Rp1 million when selling subsidized goods. Some cooperatives have also diversified into agriculture, such as a unit in Pasuruan leasing land for orchards to meet consumer demand.

Despite these advancements, the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) is coordinating with the Association of All Indonesia Village Governments (APDESI) to ensure the program does not compromise village fiscal capacity for basic services. As of mid-October 2026, approximately 10,070 cooperatives were recorded as operational, with transactions totaling Rp208.64 billion.
