Indonesia has been forced to take emergency action to calm unrest over record Soya Bean prices.  The commodity hit an all-time global high of 13 dollars a bushel last week, an increase of almost 90 per cent on last year's level. Indonesian prices have risen even higher.

The rise is a partly a result of US farmers reducing the soy crop to grow more corn for bio-fuel.  The Indonesian government is now looking at subsidizing the product and giving incentives to local farmers.  As Rebecca Henschke reports from Jakarta, the rising prices have had a dramatic impact on the country's poor.
