Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the United States is Indonesia's main supplier of soybeans. The value and weight of Indonesian soybean imports from the US exceed those from other countries, such as Canada, Bolivia, or Malaysia.

Over the past eight years, import volumes have fluctuated. However, the highest weight was recorded in 2017 at 2.63 million tons.

Subsequently, soybean import volumes have tended to decrease, reaching a low of 1.92 million tons in 2022.

Although soybean shipments were highest in 2017, the total value of imports (CIF) that year amounted to US$1.13 billion. This contrasts with 2022, which recorded the lowest weight but the highest import value at US$1.36 billion—the highest in the last eight years.

Meanwhile, the latest import volume data for 2024 reached 2.37 million tons, with import value reaching US$1.24 billion.

Soybean import volume and value from the United States may increase in the near future. This is because the Indonesian government plans to increase imports of food commodities from the US—following the heat of the trade war and the imposition of reciprocal tariffs by US President Donald Trump.

Citing *Inilah.com*, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, assured that this increase will not disrupt national food self-sufficiency.

"Food self-sufficiency is not at all disrupted by what is planned to be purchased from the United States," said Airlangga in a virtual press conference in Washington, quoted in Jakarta on Saturday (April 19, 2025).

He explained that the products to be purchased from the United States, such as wheat, soybeans, and soy milk, are products that Indonesia routinely imports to meet domestic needs.
