Statistical Inference — sufficiency of the sample minimum

Let x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,…,x_n be a random sample from a population with probability density function f(x,θ)=e−(x−θ)f(x,\theta)=e^{-(x-\theta)}, x>θx>\theta, 00 otherwise. For parameter θ\theta, consider the following statements: 1. min⁡(x1,x2,…,xn)\min(x_1,x_2,…,x_n) is a sufficient statistic of θ\theta. 2. xˉ=1n∑i=1nxi\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n x_i is a minimum variance bound estimator of θ\theta. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
