The Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism (MPRT; Malay: Kementerian Sumber-Sumber Utama dan Pelancongan, KSSUP) is a cabinet-level ministry in the government of Brunei which oversees agriculture, fishing, forestry and tourism in the country. It is currently led by a minister and the incumbent is Abdul Manaf Metussin,[a] who took office since 7 June 2022.[4] The ministry is headquartered in Bandar Seri Begawan.
Background
[edit]The ministry was previously known as the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources (MIPR; Kementerian Perindustrian dan Sumber-Sumber Utama) until the renaming to its present name to reflect functional restructuring, in which oversight for the petroleum and non-primary industries has been transferred, at that time to the Prime Minister's Office.[citation needed] It is also to reflect the emphasis on the development of tourism industry.[5]
Organisation
[edit]The ministry manages the following departments:
- Agriculture and Agrifood Department (Jabatan Pertanian dan Agrimakanan)
- Department of Fisheries (Jabatan Perikanan)
- Forestry Department (Jabatan Perhutanan)
- Tourism Development Department (Jabatan Kemajuan Pelancongan)
Budget
[edit]In the 2022–23 fiscal year, the ministry has been allocated a budget of B$96 million,[b] a 40 percent increase from the previous year.[2]
