Show full summary
- Farmers and exporters: Would increase Market Access Program funding to $489.5 million and raise another Foreign Market Development allotment to $400 million. That gives more federal money for marketing and entering foreign markets.
- Workers and rural economies: The bill cites that export promotion added about $9.6 billion a year to U.S. agricultural exports and supported up to 225,800 jobs. It would seek to reverse loss of program buying power after years of static funding.
- Private sector and USDA: It would rely on public-private partnerships that supplied roughly 70 to 77 percent of program funds from 2013 to 2019. The bill notes an academic estimate that doubling public funds plus modest private increases could raise exports by about $7.4 billion annually.

More funding for farm exports
This bill would boost USDA export promotion programs used by farm groups and food businesses. It would raise authorized annual funding to $489.5 million, $400 million, and $69 million across the main accounts that support these activities. It would also update the authorized years to 2025–2029 to keep these programs running in that window. A wording fix would tie any memo’s effect to when its directives are in force, giving clearer guidance. These are authorizations, so Congress would still need to appropriate the money before it could be spent.
