Ministry of Fisheries (Namibia)

The Ministry of Fisheries was a government ministry of Namibia, with headquarters in Windhoek. At Namibian independence in 1990 the fisheries portfolio was allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture. Only in 1991 was a separate Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) established,[1] the first minister was Helmut Angula.

In 2025 the ministry was disestablished, and the portfolio of fisheries was given back to the agriculture ministry.[2] The current Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform is Mac Hengari.
