The findings reveal that Indonesian soybean imports exhibit an average annual increase of 72,628.82 tons. Partially, GDP demonstrates a positive and significant influence on the volume of Indonesia's soybean imports. The volume of soybean imports in Indonesia posts the implementation of the import liberalization policy in 1998 surpassed pre-policy levels.
