Kementan denies 2026 agricultural census job listing, link fake
The ad promised monthly pay of Rp5 juta-Rp8 juta and is suspected of being used to steal victims' personal data.
The Ministry of Agriculture said information about recruitment for “Petugas Sensus Pertanian 2026” circulating on social media and messaging apps is a hoax. The message used the Kementan name and a photo of Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman, then directed applicants to a specific registration link. Moch Arief Cahyono, head of Kementan's Communications and Information Services Bureau, said the ministry never opened such a vacancy or worked with any party through the circulating link. The fake ad offered positions for high school graduates or the equivalent with pay of Rp5 juta to Rp8 juta per month. Kementan urged the public not to click the link, not to hand over personal data, and to verify information only through the ministry's official website and accounts, saying the narrative could be a fraud scheme.
