## Summary

**Secure and expand market access for U.S. food and agriculture.** The bill would urge Congress and the Administration to work urgently on trade policies that reopen markets, enforce existing agreements, and remove non-tariff barriers. - Farmers and ranchers would get a push for new export opportunities and dispute enforcement to help counter a 9% drop in export value in 2023 and a USDA forecasted $37 billion food and agriculture trade deficit for 2024. - Exporters and agricultural manufacturing workers would see stronger support for comprehensive trade agreements and trade promotion programs to grow overseas sales. U.S. food and agriculture exports totaled nearly $200 billion in 2023 and agricultural manufacturing is almost 20% of U.S. manufacturing jobs. - The bill would also stress the sector’s broader importance and global role by promoting science-based rules in international bodies. The food and agriculture sector generated about $9.6 trillion in economic output and the United States is the largest donor of international food assistance.
