Key Points

  • Senator Slotkin introduced a bill to create a team of experts from different government agencies to watch over the trade of fresh fruits and vegetables. This group will include leaders from the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Commerce, and national trade offices.
  • The main goal is to track how imports from other countries affect American farmers who grow seasonal crops that spoil quickly. The group will look for signs that foreign competition is hurting local businesses by monitoring trade data on an ongoing basis.
  • This team will talk directly with farmers and agricultural groups to understand the challenges they face. They will investigate whether new trade rules or legal investigations are needed to keep the market fair for U.S. growers.
  • The group will also suggest new programs or financial help that the government can provide to farmers who are struggling because of changes in the global market. This ensures that the Secretary of Agriculture has a plan to support producers when imports cause prices to drop or sales to fall.
