Agrinas asserts co-op managers SOE employees, refuting Danantara claim
Following last week's criticism of the government's delay in installing managers at Red and White Cooperatives, the Agrinas chief has asserted that co-op managers are employed at the state-owned agriculture firm.
PT Agrinas CEO Joao Angelo De Sousa Mota has stated that managers employed by the government's Red and White Cooperatives program are state-owned enterprises (SOE) employees, directly contradicting a claim by Danantara COO Dony Oskaria. According to Mota, the managers are employed for two years under fixed-term employment contracts to support local cooperative operations.
At the end of the two-year term, Agrinas will evaluate its operational needs to determine if the contracts should be extended. Mota also mentioned the possibility of reassigning the managers to other cooperatives.
