The impact of rising prices of imported soybeans
Workers arrange tempeh in one of the production centers, Jambula Village, Ternate, North Maluku, on Wednesday (20/5/2026). According to local producers, the exchange rate of the rupiah against the US dollar which exceeded Rp17,500 has caused the price of the main raw materials, namely imported soybeans, to rise from Rp10,600 per kg to Rp10,800 per kg. As a result, producers are forced to increase the selling price among agents and markets from Rp3,000 to Rp4,000 per package for tempeh, and from Rp2,500 to Rp3,000 per piece for tofu.

Menurut produsen setempat, nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar Amerika Serikat yang menembus hingga di atas Rp17.500 membuat harga bahan baku utama yaitu kedelai impor naik dari Rp10.600 per kg menjadi Rp10.800 per kg sehingga produsen terpaksa menaikan harga jual di kalangan agen dan pasar dari Rp3.000 menjadi Rp4.000 per bungkus untuk tempe, serta Rp2.500 menjadi Rp3.000 per potong untuk tahu.
