Legislative Progress

House
Senate
President
Law

Key Points

  • This bill requires the Department of Agriculture to write a yearly report about how American specialty crops, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, are competing in other countries.
  • The report will identify foreign trade barriers, like high taxes or unfair rules, that make it difficult or expensive for U.S. farmers to sell their products overseas.
  • Government officials must estimate the total value of crops that could have been sold if these foreign trade barriers did not exist, helping show the real cost to American farmers.
  • The bill requires the government to listen to the public and farming experts before finishing the report to ensure it covers the most important issues facing the industry.
  • By making this information public and easy to read, the bill aims to push the government to take action against unfair trade practices and help U.S. farmers reach more customers.
