# Stocks of Imported Soybeans Dwindle, Tofu and Tempeh Makers Face Raw Material Shortages

> Imported soybean prices in Kudus Regency rose to Rp11,500 per kg from Rp10,000 over two months, according to the Primkopti cooperative. The cooperative attributes the rise to a stronger dollar against the rupiah, higher price indices and possibly lower production in origin countries. A large Semarang supplier reports no new supply, and warehouse stock covers only two to three days of demand.
