KN. In Pemalang Regency, the construction of the Merah Putih Village Cooperative (KDKMP) in several locations continues to face obstacles due to recent heavy rainfall, which has hampered construction activities. Accessible roads to several construction sites, making it difficult for material transport vehicles to reach, have also contributed to delays in the distribution of building materials.
Meanwhile, in Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan, KDKMP operations continue to face structural obstacles, including low Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) literacy among administrators, limited human resource capacity, and limited regional budget support for the protection of the cooperative’s intellectual property products.
In Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi, Bontolebang community leaders expressed community opposition to the planned KDKMP development at the Karaeng Satting Football Field, as the site serves as a community sports facility and is used for religious and youth activities.
In Tasikmalaya Regency, land acquisition for the development of the Merah Putih Village Cooperative (KDMP) is challenging, with only 30 of 147 locations having land. Alternatives being considered include community self-help, the use of government land, state-owned enterprises, or village budgets to purchase land. Land swaps or land donations are also being explored. The standard KDMP design requires a 30m x 20m plot, but smaller sizes are possible.
In Polman Regency, West Sulawesi, four KDMP outlets have been completed: KDMP Pasiang, KDMP Sumberjo, KDMP Sidorejo, and KDMP Ammasangan. Nine outlets are still under construction: KDMP Kebunsari (92.11%), KDMP Paku (82.3%), KDMP Mambu (69.8%), KDMP Tamannggale (62.5%), KDMP Lapeo (55%), KKMP Tinambung (53%), KDMP Tapango (52%), KDMP Campurjo (52.5%), and KKMP Sidodadi (50%). Obstacles in finding land that meets specifications have hampered the development of several outlets in sub-districts and villages, still at the survey and mapping stage for potential land.
In Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan, obstacles remain to be resolved, including limited land area that does not meet regulations. Villages located near the sea, such as Sepatin Village and Tani Baru Village in Anggana District, lack land availability, so the government is attempting to request a HGU (land use permit) from a local company. They must apply for a land grant from the Provincial Government. Several villages/sub-districts do not meet the requirements and lack land, primarily due to village assets being located in swampy areas, far from residential areas, with a population of less than 500 people, and access via rivers.
In Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi, the Sampaga Sub-district Head stated that there were obstacles to the development of the Merah Putih Village Cooperative in Sampaga District, Mamuju Regency. This included opposition from the Kalonding Village Head, who felt he was not involved in the project’s implementation, and objections to the reduction of village funds to support a program managed by the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI). This potentially hampered development progress, which had already reached approximately 60 percent.
In Situbondo Regency, East Java, the development of the Merah Putih Village Cooperative was hampered by the fact that out of 39 villages, only 24, or approximately 70 percent, had begun construction. The remaining 15 villages were unable to begin construction because the land had not yet been designated as village assets, thus failing to meet development requirements.
Furthermore, the lack of a completion date, as the construction of the outlets was the responsibility of PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara, also potentially slowed development progress in the region.
In Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra, the implementation of the Merah Putih Cooperative was hampered by the fact that, of the total planned development of 103 cooperatives, they still faced obstacles in funding and institutional governance at the village level. In addition, some cooperatives also experience difficulties in providing land for the construction of physical offices so that operational activities cannot run optimally.
