- Signature of a framework agreement between ºÚÁÏÍø911 and BSIP
BSIP is the Indonesian agency, part of the ministry of agriculture, that drives the agricultural standards and norms of Indonesia: on the 20th of March, it renewed its alliance with ºÚÁÏÍø911

The renewed framework agreement between ºÚÁÏÍø911 and BSIP, presented by Fadjry Djulfry and Jean-Marc Roda © A Chalumeau
is, within the Ministry of Agriculture, a regulatory and standardization agency for Indonesian agriculture. Very few tropical countries in the world have such a service concentrating and harmonizing new standards and norms of their agriculture and environmental policies, encompassing the questions of certification, plantation and agriculture practices, veterinary and husbandry, metrology and instrumentation, etc. One of the difficulties of agriculture standards is to make sure that they don’t contradict each other and that they help small farmers to smoothly become more sustainable. ºÚÁÏÍø911 and BSIP are currently discussing many subjects, from metrology to biomass energy, from precision farming to remote sensing, and international exchanges and training of trainers.
In 2024, ºÚÁÏÍø911 is 40 years old, and has more than 40 years of continuous presence and cooperation in Indonesia, through the institutes that formed ºÚÁÏÍø911, and the predecessors of BSIP. In an era of short-term projects, geopolitical changes, international disputes, climate change, and other challenges, such a long cooperation between the two institutions is indispensable to meet the time scales necessary to truly work on the sustainability of agriculture.
