## Summary

**Creates a federal grant program to spur domestic market development for specialty crops.** The bill would set up a USDA-administered grant program that funds marketing and demand-building activities to grow, maintain, and expand commercial markets for U.S. specialty crop producers. - Specialty crop producers and supply chains: Grants are meant to increase domestic demand for U.S.-grown specialty crops, which could help expand market opportunities for growers and related businesses. - Eligible organizations and rules: Trade groups, cooperatives, State agencies, and private groups that promote domestic purchases could apply. Grants require a marketing plan and a non-Federal match of at least 25 percent, and in-kind contributions are allowed. - Program administration and accountability: The Secretary of Agriculture would run the program through the Agricultural Marketing Service. Awards may be multiyear with annual compliance reviews, evaluations starting 15 months after the first grant, and independent audits if evaluations warrant them. The program bars certain direct assistance to for-profits promoting foreign products and limits support to non-small for-profits except specific exceptions. *Authorizes $75.0 million for fiscal year 2026 and each subsequent year, increasing federal spending.*
