The Complex Reasons Behind Indonesia’s Struggle To Achieve Soybean Self-Sufficiency.
The research uses a comprehensive analysis of existing literature to identify the key factors contributing to the country’s reliance on imports.
This research is directly relevant to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By addressing the root causes of a food security issue, it aligns with SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth by highlighting economic and policy challenges that hinder the growth of the domestic agricultural sector, which can ultimately help improve the livelihoods of local farmers.
The authors successfully provided a clear, data-driven overview of the factors preventing Indonesia from achieving soybean self-sufficiency, from policy issues to agricultural practices. This research offers a valuable roadmap for policymakers and stakeholders to create more effective strategies. The benefits to the community include improved food security, reduced economic vulnerability, and a stronger domestic agricultural sector.
