He gets pure cow's milk products from breeders, who are none other than his members, and then sends them to the Company.
According to KPSP Manager Setia Kawan, this cooperative only supplies one company, namely PT Indolakto, whose product we often encounter and even consume, namely Indomilk milk. There is strict selection for milk deposits from members to this cooperative because quality is a priority in this cooperative. One of them is an alcohol test. There is something interesting about the tests applied. When a member sends milk to this cooperative at 05.00 in the morning or 15.00 in the afternoon to be tested for alcohol and the milk given is broken, the milk will be returned to the member with food coloring added. This anticipates that if members have deposited milk in the morning, they are expected not to deposit it in the afternoon. low quality. You can see the discipline of this cooperative in maintaining the quality of its milk products. It is hoped that things like this will be present in the Indonesian economy. Providing opportunities for production is not just opportunities for consumption.
