Specialty CROP Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill requires the government to create a yearly report on how U.S. specialty crops—which include fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, and nursery plants—are doing in the global market. It focuses on identifying foreign rules or taxes that make it hard for American farmers to sell their products overseas.
• The report must list specific trade barriers, such as high taxes or complicated safety rules that other countries use to block U.S. goods. It will also estimate how much money American farmers are losing because of these unfair trade practices.
• The government will have to explain what it is doing to fix these problems, such as negotiating with foreign leaders or taking legal action through international trade groups. This ensures that officials are actively working to open up new markets for American-grown food.
• Before the report is finished, the public and farming experts will get a chance to share their experiences and concerns. The final report will be available online for everyone to read, making it easier for farmers to see which countries are the most difficult to trade with.
