Taifun reports temporary production problems that have led to sharply reduced natural tofu inventories and availability gaps in retail. Some products will not be produced for now but are expected to return gradually; the company currently anticipates a phased resumption from early 2027. To secure supply, Taifun is building a new tofu plant and a soy silo in Freiburg, thereby expanding its production capacity. » More on t-online.de

Rising demand for tofu is leaving gaps on supermarket shelves, while production constraints at manufacturers are further straining supply. Market leader Taifun reports a roughly 10 percent increase in sales in 2025 to about 52 million euros and plans to raise capacity by 50 percent by autumn. A machine failure (decanter) and temporary production halts led to shortages, causing some products to be temporarily removed from the range. Retailers such as Rewe expect availability to possibly normalize only by the end of 2026. » More on wiwo.de

Market leader Taifun plans to increase capacity by 50 percent by autumn but was temporarily limited in natural tofu production due to a failed decanter. Retailers such as Rewe report significant sales increases; companies say supply bottlenecks could persist for weeks to months, and a full normalization may not occur before the end of 2026. » More on wiwo.de
