Tofu Price Hike In Indonesia As Rupiah Weakening To US Dollar
An artisan tends to large metal vats of processed soybean milk at a traditional tofu factory in Sawangan, Depok, West Java, on November 6, 2026. Local tofu and tempeh producers face challenges as the Indonesian rupiah weakens against the United States dollar, surpassing the Rp 18,000 mark. The currency depreciation has increased imported soybean prices to Rp 11,000 per kilogram, leading artisans to either reduce product sizes or absorb higher production costs to maintain their businesses.
