The Council of Agriculture (Chinese: 農業委員會; pinyin: Nóngyè Wěiyuánhuì) is the official government body in the Republic of China (Taiwan) charged with overseeing agricultural affairs. It is a child agency of the Executive Yuan and was formed in 1984 from the amalgamation of the Agriculture Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Council for Agricultural Planning and Development.[1]

Agencies that operate under the Council of Agriculture include the Fisheries Agency, Forestry Bureau and Soil and Water Conservation Bureau.

There was a Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction (JCRR) established in Nanking according to the Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction of 1948. After the Chinese civil war, JCRR moved to Taiwan. JCRR was combined to the COA when the United States ended the official foreign relation with the Republic of China in 1979.
