The government subsidizes imported soybeans

Artisans moved the soybeans after boiling them during the tempeh production process in Buaran Indah, Tangerang City, Banten, on Wednesday (6/10/2026). The government decided to provide a subsidy of IDR 2,000 per kilogram for 250,000 tons in the first phase with a total budget of around IDR 500 billion as an effort to maintain the prices of tofu and tempeh amid the pressure of rising imported raw material costs due to the weakening exchange rate of the rupiah.
