History
In January 1, 1930 by virtue of Act 3639 of the Philippine Legislature, the Bureau of Agriculture was split to the Bureau of Animal Industry and Bureau of Plant Industry. The said Act defined the powers and functions of the two agencies. The Bureau of Animal Industry taking over all activities concerning animals, animal diseases and industrialization of animal products and the Bureau of Plant Industry taking over the tasks on plant research and crop production.
As created through series of laws, Executive and Administrative Orders, BPI has the primary tasks of:
*Promoting the development of plant industries through research and development;
*Crop production
*Crop protection and,
*Effective technology promotion and transfer.
Through Executive order 116 of President Corazon Aquino in January 30, 1987, BPI was reorganized to become a staff bureau under the production group of the renamed Department of Agriculture.
