Laws and decrees that dictated the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture  In 1920, the Ministry was not yet founded. However, a decree appeared in the same year dictating the establishment of a breeding center for horses. Moreover, Trabaud - the Governor of the Lebanon - had published another decree in the same year which prohibited the breeding of horses without a permit. In 1925, the decree no. 3044 appeared , dictating the establishment of a center for pest control. This decree was published by Leon Keyla , the Governor of the Lebanon at that time. In 1929, the decree no. 5190 was published. This decree emphasized the importance of establishing an Agricultural Machinery center. In 1932, the President of the Republic Charles Dabbas, published the decree no. 5190 which dictated the establishment of an Agricultural Machinery center. Moreover, the decree no. 1490 of 1933 was published emphasizing the importance of finding a trade name for each kind of exported fruits.

Government Research for improving production in Lebanon dates back to the establishment of Tel Amara Station in the Bekaa Valley immediately after World War II as an agricultural training center. Later, in 1957, it became the Department of Agricultural Scientific Research of the Ministry of Agriculture. Other stations were established at Tourbol (Bekaa) for animal production, Abde (North) and Sour (South) for citrus. In 1964, the Department of Agricultural Scientific Research was reorganized as an autonomous public institution and became the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI) working under the supervision of the Minister of Agriculture. More research stations were established at Fanar (Mount Lebanon) for animal health and agriculture, at Kfarshakhna (North) for soil, irrigation and farm machinery research. Both Tourbol and Kfardane were later, in the late seventies, handed over to the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA).   The institute conducts applied and basic scientific research for the development and advancement of the agricultural sector in Lebanon. In addition, the Institute keeps close ties to the farmers and tries to develop research activities aiming at solving their problems.

Map of Moroccan soil project conducted under agreement between the Ministry of agriculture, OCP group and NARS institutions (INRA, IAVHII, ENAMeknes) for a 5 years period ( 2010-2014) with the objective to develop a national map of soil fertility: Potassium, Phosphorus and Organic Matter, in addition to other classic soils attributes. This map will guide the rational use of fertilizer for better fertilization of cultures, to improve sustainable agricultural production in Morocco. It will also enable the development of regional averages of fertilizer formulas for the main crops that will allow the vast majority of farmers who do soil test analysis, to use more suited  fertilizers formulas to their region conditions.
