Indonesia Tofu At Risk Amid Volatile Soybean Import Market
A worker processes soybeans to make tofu at a traditional tofu factory in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia, on May 1, 2025. Although tofu is a local staple, about 70% - 90% of Indonesia's soybean needs are still met through imports, mainly from the United States, which supplies over 2 million tons of soybeans annually. This dependence makes the tofu industry vulnerable to global price fluctuations and exchange rate shifts, adding pressure on small-scale producers who rely heavily on stable raw material supplies.
