Prioritizing Offensive Agricultural Disputes and Enforcement Act
This bill establishes an Agricultural Trade Enforcement Task Force to address foreign trade barriers harming U.S. agricultural exports, specifically targeting India's WTO-violating price support programs for rice, wheat, and other commodities. The Task Force, led by the U.S. Trade Representative and Agriculture Department, must identify systemic trade barriers, develop enforcement strategies, and file a WTO dispute against India within 60 days of consultations if needed. It requires quarterly reports to Congress on progress, including a specific plan to challenge India's subsidies that exceed WTO limits (e.g., rice supports at 93.9% of production value). The bill directly affects U.S. farmers, ranchers, and exporters who face market access barriers due to these foreign subsidies.
