§626 Import Inventory

Summary

Collect and publish numbers on the total value and amount of imported raw and processed farm products. The Secretary of Agriculture must do this after consulting the Secretary of Commerce, the International Trade Commission, the U.S. Trade Representative, and other federal agencies, and must use only data those agencies already collect. Also collect and publish totals for how much of those raw and processed farm products are produced and consumed in the U.S. The reports must compare import value and quantity with U.S. production and consumption. They must be issued every year, with the first report due no later than 1 year after August 23, 1988.
