The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the development and maintenance of a system of sustainable agriculture to provide wholesome, natural food to the members of society.  In addition to food, this Ministry is responsible for the production of raw materials required to build good homes and manufacture clothing.

Our major goal is to develop a sustainable agricultural system that would provide at least one meal per day, according to the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad for the 40 million black people in America. Also this system should provide the necessary raw materials for the production of clothing and housing for the 40 million are more black people in America. This requires the attainment, proper utilization and conservation of the useful land and using science and technology to make the non-useful land useful.

What is The Staple Goods Purchase Project?

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad asked us, “What do you have stored in your houses for the day of want?” The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has warned us to prepare for forthcoming weather disasters, and now in 2020, we are faced with navigating through a world-wide pandemic. We are encouraged to pool our resources together as Individuals, Families, Communities, Organizations, Churches, Study Groups, Mosques, Cities, States and a Nation.

“Our 1,556 acre farm in Georgia must be viewed as the catalyst for the development of our sustainable food and fiber production system. Muhammad Farms is situated on a 1,556 acre tract in Southwest Georgia redeemed by Minister Louis Farrakhan in 1994 for the Three Year Economic Program. It is part of a larger 4,500 tract of land which The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad purchased in the 1960’s.
