Securing US Agriculture: Assessing Dependency on China
This act aims to assess the extent to which the United States relies on China for critical agricultural products and inputs. This will help identify potential threats to food and agricultural supply chains, which could impact price stability and product availability for consumers. The goal is to reduce the risk of supply disruptions, ultimately protecting the interests of consumers and farmers.
Key points
The government will annually assess US reliance on China for key agricultural products like fertilizers, feed, and equipment.
The report will identify supply chain vulnerabilities and recommend ways to reduce this dependency, such as supporting domestic production.
Information from private entities will be collected voluntarily and protected to prevent disclosure of trade secrets or supplier identities.
