The Ministry of Supply (Spanish: Ministerio de Abastecimientos) was a department of the Government of Spain formed in 1918 responsible for ensuring the supply and distribution of food and other goods relevant to the country's economic survival. It also assumed other powers related to strengthening the expansion of the Spanish economy after the Great War.
The Ministry of Supply assumed the powers of the General Commissariat of Supply, a government agency created in 1917 due to the crisis that Spain suffered in that year. The Ministry was abolished in May 1920 and its responsibilities passed to the newly created General Commissariat of Subsistence of the Ministry of Public Works.
