Securing American Agriculture Act
This bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to annually assess U.S. reliance on critical farm inputs - such as fertilizers, seeds, veterinary drugs, and agricultural equipment - that could be disrupted if China exploits supply chains. It mandates identifying domestic production capacity, supply chain vulnerabilities, and recommending ways to reduce dependency through onshore or nearshore production. The assessment must protect private company data, prohibiting disclosure of identifiable information and ensuring only anonymized aggregate data is used or shared. The law focuses on supply chain security for American agriculture without compelling businesses to provide sensitive information.
