Abstract

Inability to meet the needs of domestic soybeans make Indonesia dependence on imports. Consequently there is no certainty of domestic supply availability and price stability of soybean. The increased price of soybeans in the country influenced by the world soybean prices often occur and cannot be avoided by tofu industries that are consumers of imported soybeans. With the diversity of tofu business scale existing in Indonesia, the impact of rising soybean prices will vary from one tofu business to others. Therefore, this study uses three samples with different scale business to compare the impact of rising soybean prices. Classification of used business scale is based on the amount of daily production capacity, that is the scale of households with a daily production capacity of ≤ 100 kg, small scale with a daily production capacity of 101-200 kg, and medium scale with a daily production capacity of 201-300 kg. The indicators used in this study is the profitability value, value-added and sensitivity. The results obtained are that v medium-sized tofu businesses generate the highest profitability value and valueadded, and are the most resistant tofu business in encountering the increased soybean prices. However, the results obtained by medium-sized tofu businesses are not much different from the value obtained by small-sized tofu businesses. Thus, in this study, small and medium-sized tofu business generate insignificantly different profitability value, value-added, and the sensitivity.
