Specialty CROP Act of 2026

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Trade Representative to annually submit a detailed report to Congress on the competitiveness of American specialty crop exports (like fruits, vegetables, and nuts). The report must analyze foreign trade barriers - including tariffs, quotas, and technical rules - and estimate their economic impact on U.S. exports. It also tracks U.S. actions taken to address these barriers, such as World Trade Organization disputes or trade negotiations. The report must include public input and be published in a machine-readable format. This is a procedural requirement for oversight, not a policy change affecting farmers or markets directly.
