The Ministry of Cooperatives (Kemenkop) together with the Ministry of Public Works (PU) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) regarding the acceleration of the construction of the Merah Putih Village Cooperative.

Minister of Cooperatives Ferry Juliantono explained that the MoU was a follow-up to Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 17 of 2025 concerning the acceleration of physical development of outlets, warehousing and the completeness of the Red and White Kopdes.

Ferry said the physical construction of the Red and White Kopdes was carried out by PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara, while the Ministry of Public Works acted as a supervision or supervised, fostered and evaluated buildings.

"Because the Ministry of Cooperatives does not have the capacity to carry out technical supervision, we are assisted by the Ministry of Public Works as stipulated in Presidential Instruction Number 17 of 2025," Ferry told reporters at the Kemenkop office, Jakarta, Friday, November 7.

Meanwhile, PU Minister Dody Hanggodo said that his party would provide a prototype design for the construction of the outlet, which focuses on the quality of the building.

"We will prepare the prototype design, then cooperate with PT Agrinas because they will be working on the physical construction," said Dody.

"Of course, we will refer to the quality of the building, because we are talking about tens of thousands of cooperatives throughout Indonesia," he continued.

Because several areas in Indonesia fall into the ring of fire category, said Dody, earthquake-resistant buildings and so on are needed.

"We also realize that not all areas have building materials that meet these standards. Therefore, local wisdom will be applied in each region," he concluded.
