The 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 Department of Agriculture, Industry, and Trade (Dutch : Departement van Landbouw, Nijverheid en Handel) in 1911 and Department of Economic Affairs (Dutch : Departement van Ekonomische Zaken) in 1934. During the Japanese occupation, agriculture affairs are handled by Department of Industry, Military Government (Japanese : 軍政官武 産業部, romanized: Gunseikanbu Sangyobu). [2]

Following Indonesian independence, agriculture, trade, and industry were under the Department of Welfare in Indonesia's first cabinet. The first Welfare Minister was Soerachman Tjokroadisoerjo. Ministry of Agriculture was officially formed on 6 September 1950. On First Working Cabinet, the "Ministry of Agriculture" was renamed into "Department of Agriculture". The name was reverted back into "Ministry of Agriculture" in 2009. [3]
