| Summary: | Soybean is one of Indonesia�s most strategic foods. Thus, it�s really ironic
than, that Indonesia�s local soybean production is never able to suffice domestic
demand. For decades, Indonesia has been depand on import, as the result, it
threatens Indonesia food security and food sovereignty, especially when crisis
happen on soybean world trade like in 2008, 2010 and 2012-2013. Ministry of
agriculture always set new programs to increase the local production and achieve
the goal to be self sufficient but on other side, ministry of trade just stuck to the
former program which is keep depending on import and lowering the tariff. This
contradiction shows how pragmatic is the soybean policy in Indonesia. The goal is
only to settle the surfice problem with the easiest and shortest term policy. This
thesis will give the analysis on how this policy happen, and why is it so difficult
to change the pattern in this politic. The significance of influences and interests of
each stakeholders appear to be the reason of why the policy remain incremental
until today and the problem about self sufficiency and self sovereignty regarding
soybean as one of the most strategic food remain unsolved.
