Agricultural Instruments Standardization Agency

The Agricultural Instruments Standardization Agency (Indonesian: Badan Standardisasi Instrumen Pertanian, abbreviated as BSIP) is the supporting unit of the Ministry of Agriculture which is responsible for establishment of state standards for the development of products and innovation in the field of agriculture in Indonesia.

The agency is transformation of Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development (Indonesian: Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Pertanian, abbreviated as Balitbangtan), after the institution dissolution by Presidential Decree No. 117/2022.

History
The Balitbangtan formally dissolved on 21 September 2022 by Presidential Decree No. 117/2022. As replacement, BSIP formed within the Ministry of Agriculture as agricultural regulatory and standardization agency. At the time of dissolution of Balitbangtan, part of the Balitbangtan researchers transferred to the National Research and Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, abbreviated as BRIN) and placed under Research Organization for Agriculture and Food (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Pertanian dan Pangan, abbreviated as ORPP). Around 3000 staffs, including administrative and researchers chose to be remained in Balitbangtan. The remained part of Balitbangtan become the BSIP.

Activity
BSIP is quite different than its predecessor Balitbangtan and subsequent replacement ORPP. While ORPP performed state research in agricultural and food research, BSIP established as regulatory and standardization agency. BSIP formed in order to safeguard national interests in agriculture. In apparent deal between the Ministry of Agriculture and BRIN, BSIP retained some functions in research and development in specialized agriculture research like in development of high-quality seeds.
