History

The Ministry of Food was originally the Ministry of Food & Civil Supplies in 1971 after the Independence of Bangladesh. It was renamed to Ministry of Food & Relief and then renamed again as the Ministry of Food & Disaster Management. 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.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mofood.gov.bd/site/page/1117e233-ffc4-4385-b94c-253570e9a8ea/Ministry-of-Food-An-overview|title=Ministry of Food|website=www.mofood.gov.bd|language=en|access-date=2017-12-19}}
