The Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (Spanish: Secretaría de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural; SADER) is Mexico's agriculture ministry. The current secretary under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), starting December 1, 2018, is Víctor Villalobos.

History

The secretariat traces its roots to 1917, when it was established as the Secretaría de Agricultura y Fomento (Secretariat of Agriculture and Development). The name changed in 1946 to Secretaría de Agricultura y Ganadería (Secretariat of Agriculture and Ranching), in 1976 to Secretaría de Agricultura y Recursos Hidráulicos (Secretariat of Agriculture and Hydraulic Resources), and again in 1994 to Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería y Desarrollo Rural (Secretariat of Agriculture, Ranching and Rural Development).

In 2000, the name changed to the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (Spanish: Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentación, SAGARPA).

In December 2018, after the inauguration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador as president, SAGARPA became SADER.^[1]

Leadership

During the presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto, Enrique Martínez y Martínez served as the initial secretary. He left the post in 2015 to become Mexico's ambassador to Cuba and was replaced by José Eduardo Calzada Rovirosa, the former Governor of Querétaro. Baltazar Hinojosa Ochoa finished out the Peña Nieto sexenio as the head of SAGARPA.

Alberto Cárdenas Jiménez (2006–2009) and Francisco Javier Mayorga Castañeda (2009–2012) were the Agriculture Secretaries under Felipe Calderón. Mayorga Castañeda was also Agriculture Secretary during the administration of Vicente Fox.^[2]
