Q & A

What is the role of Desa (village) in Indonesia's economy as mentioned in the script?

The village plays a crucial role in Indonesia's economy by establishing Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), which help in increasing local economic activities, generating income for the village, and supporting the welfare of the local community.

How many Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) are there in Indonesia, and what is their significance?

There are about 51,000 BUMDes in Indonesia, which are significant because they serve as the primary economic institutions in rural areas, promoting business development and improving the quality of life for village residents.

What is the difference between BUMDes and other village business models?

BUMDes are unique in that they are legally recognized as village-owned entities, and while they can collaborate with private companies, the majority of the shares must be owned by the village itself, making them distinct from other business models that may involve more private sector control.

How does the concept of Desa Bersama (village collaboration) contribute to economic growth?

Desa Bersama involves cooperation between multiple villages, allowing them to leverage shared resources and expertise. This collaboration enhances economic opportunities, particularly through joint ventures that focus on improving agricultural or industrial outcomes across villages.

What is the key principle behind the establishment of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes)?

The key principle is to enhance the welfare of village residents, using the economic potential of each village to provide sustainable income while ensuring that BUMDes contribute positively to the local economy without causing harm to existing businesses.

Why are certain large retail chains like Indomaret and Alfamart considered detrimental to local village businesses?

Large retail chains such as Indomaret and Alfamart can undermine local businesses by drawing customers away from small, locally owned stores. This can lead to the collapse of local businesses that are vital to the village economy, affecting the livelihoods of villagers.

What legal framework supports the operation of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Indonesia?

BUMDes are supported by multiple legal frameworks, including the Village Law (Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2012) and the Omnibus Law (Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020), which collectively provide a robust foundation for the creation, development, and regulation of these enterprises.

How do government policies further support the growth of BUMDes?

Government policies such as the issuance of specific regulations (e.g., PP 11/2021, PP 65/2021) allow BUMDes to engage in diverse activities, such as resource management, infrastructure projects, and agricultural development, providing them with legal backing to expand and diversify their operations.

What is the government's approach to strengthening food security in rural areas through BUMDes?

The government encourages BUMDes to engage in integrated and sustainable livestock farming, focusing on improving food security and agricultural productivity. This initiative involves collaborative efforts with universities and industry practitioners to ensure long-term success.

What is the vision for BUMDes in the future according to the speaker?
