| Summary: | Indonesian soybean production almost never moved, even tended to decrease.
Indonesia does not have a specific area of land for planting soybeans. Soybean are generally
just a byproduct of plant or land filling vacant after farmers grow rice. In addition soybean
price fluctuations that affect tofu and tempe entrepreneurs, it turns soybean farmers are often
losers. Policy biased to the consumer sector than soybean production, cause national
soybean production declining. The decrease occurred primarily because of the narrowing of
soybean plantation land owned by farmers, this happens because soy is less interesting than
the business side so that the farmers based on rationality, farmers prefer the other
commodities, especially rice. Increasing decline in domestic soybean production resulted in
the growing dependence on imports which would deplete foreign exchange. Procurement
policies of national soybean stocks through imports is easy to do but its adverse implications
for the development of domestic agricultural production, especially soybeans, very bad. |
