Soybean Prices Spark Unrest in Indonesia
01.16.08
In Indonesia, police were forced to clear the streets after food riots broke out over rising soybean prices. The riots were characterized as the largest since Mexican protests of rising tortilla prices last year.
Increasing demand in China reduced US capacity as more farmers plant corn for ethanol, and poor harvests in Brazil and Argentina are said to underlie the price increases. The Indonesian government says it will continue with its planned 10% biofuel mandate target by 2010 despite high crude palm oil prices, and will rely more on ethanol than biodiesel to meet the target.
