Tempe artisans in Ponorogo adapt sizes amid rising soybean prices
Tempe producers in Ponorogo, East Java, are countering the surge in imported soybean prices by reducing the size of their tempe packs to maintain profit margins without raising prices, as production costs escalate due to global conflicts in the Middle East.
