Protein needs to be kept increase in line of increase of population and income amount, while in other hand supply of protein source in Indonesia is not enough yet. This needs protein source substitution that easy to get and cheap. From its content, soybean with derivative products such as tofu and tempeh have high protein source, non cholesterol, contain of essential amino acid for body, easy to get and not so expensive, where in economic crisis its demand was increasing because of instable price from other protein source chicken, cow, goat, meat, etc. In economic crisis condition, tofu and tempeh producer also face with soybean jump price, for example in June 1998 soybean price Rp. 2,300,-/kg no more two months after move up to Rp. 4,400,-/kg even rare in market, that condition could make direct effect in production and product price determine (consumer service). Related with continuing tofu and tempeh product examined agribusiness all system that limited use: (a) each 30 samples to soybean demand in home industry, (b) efficiency reachment efforts and production process each 30 samples and (c) each 100 samples at output demand in consumers point. Data used in analysis is primary data where three of data types taken proporsively in Nganjuk regency area. Analysis instrument used is Shazam with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method, for confinuing of analysis result will discussed to solve the phenomenon that three of agribusiness sub sector exist.
