The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan (Tajik: Вазорати фарҳанги Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон) is a ministry of the Government of Tajikistan responsible for the development of agricultural policy. The head of the ministry is the Minister of Agriculture, appointed by decree of the President of Tajikistan. The current Minister of Agriculture since January 5, 2023 is Kurban Hakimzoda.
History As early as December 14, 1924, by the decision of the Revolutionary Committee of the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the People's Commissariat of Crops was established. The main task of the Commissariat was to organize agricultural affairs and establish collective farms, especially in relation to the mass collectivisation of agriculture and the Five Year Plan. On March 27, 1946, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR, the People's Commissariat of Crops was divided into two independent ministries - the Ministry of Crops and the Ministry of Livestock. A year later, the two ministries were merged to form the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1953, the Ministry of Agriculture merged with the Ministry of Forestry to form the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Production. Then, in 1957, it merged with the Ministry of State Farms to form the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1962, it was renamed the Ministry of Agricultural Production and Processing, in 1985, the State Committee for Agro-Industry, in 1991, the Ministry of Agriculture, and in 2006, the Ministry of Agriculture and Nature Protection. Since 2008, it has been called the Ministry of Agriculture.
