The Ministry of Agriculture (Indonesian: Kementerian Pertanian) is a government ministry overseeing agriculture development in Indonesia. It is headed by a Minister of Agriculture, who is directly responsible to the President. History The Department of Agriculture was established on 1 January 1905 (1905-01-01) 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). 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.
