US Government Agencies Must Buy American-Grown Flowers and Greens

New rules require certain government agencies, including the Executive Office of the President, Department of Defense, and Department of State, to purchase cut flowers and greens only from US growers. This aims to support domestic producers. Citizens may observe that official displays will exclusively feature domestically sourced floral products.
Key points
Government agencies must procure cut flowers and greens exclusively from growers within the United States, including its territories and tribal areas.
Foreign gifts of flowers can be accepted, but their origin must be clearly displayed, and the agency must simultaneously purchase and display US-grown equivalents.
These changes will take effect one year after the law is enacted, impacting suppliers and the US floral market.
