The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI; Māori: Manatū Ahu Matua) is the public service department of New Zealand charged with overseeing, managing and regulating the farming, fishing, food, animal welfare, biosecurity, and forestry sectors of New Zealand's primary industries.

[2] At the 2017 general election, the Labour Party campaigned on disestablishing the Ministry and restoring the previous agencies.

Following a submission from its Biosecurity NZ unit for the retention of its animal and plant health directorate, 22 jobs were retained.

A similar consolidated portfolio, the Minister for Food, Fibre and Biosecurity had previously been in use from August 1998 to December 1999.
