Agriculture constitutes a relatively small part of the economy of Malta, an island country of 316 square kilometres (122 sq mi). The economy is largely industrialised and service-based; the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector represents 0.7% of the GDP and employs around 1.1% of the workforce as of May 2025. Alongside limited arable land, small-scale operations including fruit fields and vineyards make up the majority of farms. However, farming plays a significant role in local livelihoods, and cultural preservation. The sector faces challenges related to scale and competitiveness as well as limited fresh water supplies and scarce energy sources, but has diversified in crops and production methods. In terms of food security, Malta produces less than a quarter of its food needs. It is regulated by the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights, headed by the minister Anton Refalo. The Agriculture and Rural Payments Agency and Agricultural Bioresources Agency are both government agencies under that ministry.
