Prabowo Launches Village Cooperative, Rano Karno: 267 Jakarta Villages Are Ready

JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Rano Karno ensured that all urban villages were ready to carry out cooperative operations in the Red and White Village Cooperative program officially launched by President Prabowo Subianto today.

Rano revealed that all sub-district-level cooperatives in Jakarta have obtained legal permits. In fact, the DKI Provincial Government will also involve cooperation with regional-owned enterprises (BUMD).

"Alhamdulillah, Jakarta is ready. We have issued 267 permits with legal entities. Maybe our friends have also seen that we are also working with our BUMD. This means that red and white cooperatives in Jakarta in quotes are much easier for us to prepare," said Rano, Monday, July 21.

Later, the Red and White Village Cooperative in Jakarta will have outlets selling basic necessities from the supply of several BUMDs, ranging from PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya, Perumda Pasar Jaya, to Perumda Dharma Jaya.

Special Staff to the Governor of DKI Jakarta for Social Communication Chico Hakim said, as many as 267 Cooperatives of Red and White Villages in Jakarta are ready to operate in stages for the next three months.

The cooperation model carried out in urban village cooperatives in Jakarta varies in each village.

"In each location, the cooperation model is different. In Melawai, the Urban Cooperative cooperates with the Jakarta MRT. In other urban villages, the cooperation is different, appropriate," said Chico.

Meanwhile, Head of the DKI Jakarta PPKUKM (Perindustrian, Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises) Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo said this cooperative would receive supervision during its operations.

"For the supervision, we will gradually because the Supervisory Board is the village heads. We will gradually conduct socialization and assistance to sub-district cooperatives in DKI Jakarta," explained Ratu.

Previously, President Prabowo Subianto officially launched 80,000 Red and White Village Cooperatives (Kopdes). The inauguration ceremony was centered in Bentangan Village, Wonosari, Klaten Regency, Central Java.

"By saying bismillahirrahmanirrahim, this afternoon, Monday, July 21, 2025, I am the President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto launching 80,000 village and sub-district cooperatives," Prabowo said as quoted from the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube, Monday, July 21.

Prabowo admitted that he did not expect that 80,000 Red and White Kopdes could be formed and inaugurated in July. Initially, he thought the inauguration would take place in October 2025.

"But I'm honest, in my heart, that's it, about October, November it will be formed, right? Suddenly the report, 'Mr. We are July ready to be inaugurated'. Hah? How much? 80,000 everything. Really? Thank you," said Prabowo.
