The article explains the scarcity of tempe and tofu in the Greater Jakarta Area's markets due to increased production costs caused by a surge in imported soy prices. The high demand for soybeans, mainly from the US, and reduced production in producer countries have contributed to the price hike. This reliance on imported soybeans has led to instability in the domestic tempe and tofu industry, with proposals to diversify soybean sources and increase domestic production to achieve self-sufficiency. Challenges such as lower profitability in soybean cultivation compared to rice and instability in local soybean market prices are hindering the growth of the industry. The government is encouraging policies to address these challenges and promote self-reliance in soybean production to meet the demand for tempe and tofu.
