In the USSR, a ministry was created for each agro-industrial direction, which managed enterprises. All enterprises were state-owned. In turn, the ministries were united by the Council of Ministers of the USSR.
The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan, at the very beginning of its formation, by the decision of the Protocol of the Revolutionary Committee of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Tajikistan, dated December 14, 1924, No. 2, along with eight ministries – People's commissariats of Soviet Tajikistan, was named Ministry of Agriculture of Tajikistan. From that moment until now, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan is in the state structure of Tajikistan. Despite the fact that the name of the Ministry of Agriculture has changed several times, for example: the Ministry of Agriculture, the State Agro—Industrial Committee, the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reform and others, they had the same goals and objectives - ensuring the development of the agricultural sector of the republic.
