The Agency for Agricultural Assemblies and Modernization (Indonesian: Badan Perakitan dan Modernisasi Pertanian, officially abbreviated as BrMP), [1] formerly Agricultural Instruments Standardization Agency (Indonesian: Badan Standardisasi Instrumen Pertanian, BSIP), is the supporting unit of the Ministry of Agriculture which is responsible for the engineering, assembly, testing, dissemination, and application of modern agriculture in Indonesia. [2] When it was established as BSIP, the agency was formerly tasked to establish state standards for developing products and innovation in the field of agriculture in Indonesia. [3]

History

The Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development (Indonesian: Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Pertanian, Balitbangtan) was the research arm of the Ministry of Agriculture until it formally dissolved on 21 September 2022 by Presidential Decree No. 117/2022. As a replacement, BSIP was formed within the Ministry of Agriculture as an agricultural regulatory and standardization agency. [4] At the time of the dissolution of Balitbangtan, some of the Balitbangtan researchers transferred to the National Research and Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, BRIN) and placed under the Research Organization for Agriculture and Food (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Pertanian dan Pangan, ORPP). Around 3000 staff, including administrators and researchers, chose to remain in Balitbangtan. The remaining part of Balitbangtan became the BSIP. [5] While around 1300 Balitbangtan researchers and engineers moved to BRIN. [6]

On 8 November 2024, BSIP was dissolved and replaced by the BrMP by Presidential Decree No. 192/2024. [7] The Presidential Decree relinquished agricultural standardization functions formerly tasked to BSIP to the responsible Directorate Generals within the Ministry of Agriculture. [7] However, the research and engineering functions formerly owned by the agency during the Balitbangtan period were partly revived. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, only 25% of the research functions of the original Balitbangtan are restored in the BrMP but with a higher level of advanced technologies and applications than the ORPP, as ORPP performed much of the basic agricultural research. [1]

Attempt to Restore to Balitbangtan

On 25 June 2024, there was request from DPR to return 1200 remaining former Balitbangtan researchers and engineers from BRIN to then BSIP to return the former researchers back to their original laboratories under the Ministry of Agriculture because massive neglect of Ministry of Agriculture labs and genetic resources facilities that will result in massive waste on biological collection of the former Balitbangtan. [8] The request also repeated in December 2024. [9]

Not only from legislators, even from the executive ministers also voiced return of research functions of original Balitbangtan to current BrMP citing BRIN lack of supporting research facilities for agricultural research. [10] [11]
