History
editThe Department of Agriculture was established on 1 January 1905 by the Dutch East Indies Government as Department of Agriculture (Dutch: Departement van Landbouw) in 1905. It was later renamed the Department of Agriculture, Industry, and Trade (Dutch: Departement van Landbouw, Nijverheid en Handel) in 1911 and the Department of Economic Affairs (Dutch: Departement van Ekonomische Zaken) in 1934. During the Japanese occupation, agriculture affairs were handled by the Department of Industry, Military Government (Japanese: 軍政官武 産業部, romanized: Gunseikanbu Sangyobu).[2]
After Indonesian independence, agriculture, trade, and industry were under the Department of Welfare in Indonesia's first cabinet. The first Welfare Minister was Soerachman Tjokroadisoerjo. The Ministry of Agriculture was officially formed on 6 September 1950. On the First Working Cabinet, the "Ministry of Agriculture" was renamed "Department of Agriculture". The name was reverted into the "Ministry of Agriculture" in 2009.[3]
