if agriculture and Commerce are state subjects why do we have ministers of agriculture and commerce in the Union Cabinet?

Dear Student

Agriculture and commerce are state subjects, but we have ministers of agriculture and commerce in the Union Cabinet because the Ministry of Agriculture is the apex body for formulation and administration of the rules and regulations and laws relating to agriculture in India.
Agriculture is related to food security and economic development.Commerce is also linked to economic developent.If the planning of these would not be at  national level then proper development would not take place and  resources will not be properly utilised.
