History
The Ministry of Agriculture was established on 20 November 1913. In 1996, it was renamed Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. The goal of the ministry is to address sustainability in agriculture such as better ways to do agricultural irrigation.
In 2016, amid findings that officials and silo owners were committing fraud, an agency from Switzerland was put in charge of inspecting Egypt's imported wheat. Egypt imports the most wheat of any country.
