A Brief History of BFAPT
Since its establishment, the Department of Food and Agricultural Product Technology has undergone several name changes. In the 1960s, the Faculty of Agricultural Technology established two divisions: Agricultural Mechanization and Agricultural Product Technology, which became the forerunner of the Department of Food and Agricultural Product Technology.
In 1978, the Agricultural Product Technology division was renamed the Agricultural Product Processing Division, and in 1980 it was renamed again as the Department of Agricultural Product Processing. Subsequently, in 1995, the Department of Agricultural Product Processing changed its name to the Department of Agricultural Product Technology. The Department of Agricultural Product Technology was then renamed in 2002 as the Department of Food and Agricultural Product Technology.
Then, in January 2016, due to the change in status from department to faculty department, the Department of Food and Agricultural Product Technology officially became the Department of Food and Agricultural Product Technology as it is known today.
