INDEF warns that the weaker rupiah raises the cost of imported energy, industrial inputs, food and fertilisers in Indonesia. It cites JISDOR at Rp18,050 per US dollar on 19 October 2026, a 7.4% annual depreciation in September, and sharp rises in upstream costs for sugar and wheat flour.
A weaker rupiah makes imported feed ingredients such as soybean meal, wheat and fertiliser more expensive for Indonesian buyers, and pass-through to consumer prices is likely to continue if the currency stays under pressure.
