The Minister of Agriculture is a cabinet minister in the province of Manitoba, Canada. The minister oversees government activity in agriculture, agri-food and the agri-product sector.
Some changes in the ministerial responsibilities have resulted in change to the name of the ministry. Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI), was created on November 4, 2003 when the department of Agriculture and Food was merged with Rural Initiatives and Cooperative Development (both from the Department of Intergovernmental Affairs). On May 3, 2016 the Pallister government renamed the cabinet position as the "Minister of Agriculture".
The current Minister of Agriculture is Ralph Eichler of the Progressive Conservatives.
