The purpose of DAPR is to:

Support agricultural production, commercial fishing, andaquaculture to ensurefair prices and stable markets for producers and consumers;
Work to improve and maintain farm income; and
Help to develop and expand markets abroad for agricultural products.

DAPR administers rural development, credit, and conservation programs that are designed to implement national growth policies, and it conducts scientific and technological research in all areas of agriculture. Through its inspection and grading services, DAPR ensures standards of quality in food offered for sale.

Throughout the years, the department's name has been modified, as well as its structure, but today remains a separate structure with additional agencies and public corporations as part of the Department of Agriculture "umbrella".

The department is headed by a cabinet secretary, appointed by theGovernor of Puerto Rico and subject to theadvice and consent of theSenate of Puerto Rico. The current incumbent is Ramón González Beiró.
