Domestic soybean production that has not been able to meet national soybean needs is an implication of the decline in soybean harvested area in Indonesia. The opposite condition occurs at the level of demand for soybeans, which increases every year. The soybean import policy is an alternative step for government to overcome the gap between soybean production and consumption in Indonesia. Soybeans in this study are not separated from the type, namely with HS code 1201 (Soya beans, whether or not broken). This study aims to analyze the factors that influence soybean imports in Indonesia by using secondary data from 2001 to 2021. The research method used is descriptive quantitative. The analysis method used is OLS which is used to determine the regression equation so that the actual value can be know from each independent variable to the dependent variable. The result of the study found that partially soybean production had no significant effect on soybean imports in Indonesia, soybean consumption had no significant effect on soybean imports in Indonesia, domestic soybeans prices had a significant effect on soybeans imports in Indonesia, the exchange rate had no significant effect on soybean imports in Indonesia, and simultaneously all free variable had a significant effect on soybean imports in Indonesia.

Conclusion

Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that simultaneously, domestic soybean production, soybean consumption, domestic soybean prices, and the exchange rate collectively affect soybean imports in Indonesia.Partially, the variable of domestic soybean prices significantly affects soybean imports, while the variables of soybean production, soybean consumption, and the exchange rate do not significantly influence soybean imports in Indonesia.It is hoped that the Indonesian government can pay more attention and maximize its performance in terms of soybean production to successfully reduce dependence on soybean imports.

Future Research

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengkaji efektivitas berbagai kebijakan pemerintah dalam meningkatkan produksi kedelai domestik, termasuk analisis mendalam mengenai insentif bagi petani dan pengembangan teknologi pertanian yang adaptif terhadap perubahan iklim. Selain itu, studi komparatif dapat dilakukan untuk membandingkan strategi impor kedelai di Indonesia dengan negara-negara lain yang berhasil meningkatkan kemandirian pangan kedelai, dengan fokus pada aspek regulasi, infrastruktur, dan dukungan finansial. Terakhir, penelitian perlu menggali lebih dalam mengenai perilaku konsumen terhadap produk kedelai dan substitusinya, serta dampaknya terhadap permintaan impor, termasuk potensi pengembangan produk alternatif berbasis kedelai yang dapat mengurangi ketergantungan pada impor.
