A real m $\times$ n matrix A is semipositive (SP) if there is a vector x $\geq$ 0 such that Ax > 0, inequalities being entrywise. A is minimally semipositive (MSP) if A is semipositive and no column deleted submatrix of A is semipositive. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the sign pattern matrix with n positive entries to be minimally semipositive.
