Coffee Plant Health Initiative Amendments Act

HR 965, the Coffee Plant Health Initiative Amendments Act, updates an existing agricultural research program to better protect coffee crops. It authorizes grants for specific research activities, including developing pest control tools, establishing integrated pest management programs, surveying coffee plant health, and studying coffee plant biology and pesticide impacts. The bill extends the funding authorization period for these grants from 2023 to 2035. This directly supports coffee growers and agricultural researchers in coffee-producing regions by providing long-term resources for science-based solutions to crop threats.
