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

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

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)
