History
The Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce was formed by the Imperial High Council in 1881, with Lieutenant-General Eguchi Tateki as its first minister. In 1925, the commerce functions were separated out into a separate Ministry of Commerce, which would eventually become the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce was reformed into the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The ministry was also given responsibility for oversight of the Workers Act of 1903, which provided regulations for work hours and worker safety in both industrial and agricultural industries.

In 1978, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was expanded and renamed, becoming the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to better reflect the ministry's role in guaranteeing the Yamataian public a safe food supply, and to protect producers and workers in the food production industries.
