This is a list of the officeholders of the Ministry of Agriculture since 1933, when the government department was established. Before 1933 the ministers with responsibilities in agriculture were the Minister of Industry (1928–1933), the Minister of Development (1847–1928) and the Minister of the Interior (before 1847).
Since then, this ministry has been responsible not only for agricultural matters, but also for fishing, food, rural development and, occasionally, the environment.
