## Summary

**Expand U.S. agricultural market access** by adding targeted technical help for foreign market infrastructure and by changing reporting and funding for the export promotion program. The bill would push resources toward cold chains, port fixes, and better information on specialty crop competitiveness. - Farmers and exporters: Specialty crop producers would get a machine-readable, biennial competitiveness report that names tariffs, quotas, non-tariff barriers, likely impacts, and planned U.S. trade actions. The report must include public comment and advisory-committee input. - Foreign market infrastructure: The bill would create a technical-assistance role under the Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program to fund needs assessments, training, and infrastructure work like cold chains and ports. That function is capped at $1.5 million for FY2027 and $5.0 million for FY2028 and each year after. - Program funding: It revises the program’s funding schedule to authorize $255.0 million for FY2026 and $500.0 million for FY2027 and sets higher ongoing annual amounts thereafter.
