The Ministry of Food (bn|খাদ্য মন্ত্রণালয়; Khādya mantraṇālaẏa) is the government ministry of Bangladesh responsible for National Food Policy.[1]
The Ministry of Food was originally the Ministry of Food & Civil Supplies in 1971 after the Independence of Bangladesh.

In 2012, the government of Bangladesh reorganized it as the Ministry of Food and another separate ministry was created called the Ministry of Disaster Management.[2]
