On September 26, Ambassador Sung Y. Kim joined the grand opening of the new Tempe Azaki factory, the largest tempeh factory in the world. Tempe Azaki imports 100 percent high-quality U.S. soybeans and sells value-added tempeh product, both domestically and now abroad, including to the United States, fueling Indonesia’s growing economy. Thanks to capacity building funded partially by the American people, the company now processes approximately 55 metric tons of U.S. soybeans per day, up significantly from 0.5 metric tons per day in 2015 . . .
