Specifically, among other objectives, the ministry promotes the export orientation of the country’s agricultural and fishery products while improving their quality, utilizing the resources of the Common Agricultural Policy and the Common Fisheries Policy, and protecting the environment through the sustainable management of natural resources.

The incumbent minister is Konstantinos Tsiaras of New Democracy.

History

The ministry was established in June 1917 by the government of Eleftherios Venizelos under the title Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. [This followed the establishment in 1910 of a joint ministry for the sectors of Agriculture, Commerce, and Industry, also by Eleftherios Venizelos, which was renamed the Ministry of National Economy in 1911.] Almost immediately after, in September 1917, it was renamed the Ministry of Agriculture, a title it held until March 2004. At that time, the government of Kostas Karamanlis renamed it the Ministry of Rural Development and Food to emphasise the development of the agricultural sector. During the first government of Alexis Tsipras, it was demoted to the level of a sub-ministry within the "Ministry of Productive Reconstruction, the Environment and Energy", before being restored as a full ministry in his second cabinet a few months later.
