Safe Food Exports: Proactive Animal Disease Management for Trade Stability.
This law aims to protect U.S. food exports by improving the management of animal diseases. It authorizes the government to negotiate pre-emptive agreements with importing countries so that if a disease outbreak occurs, exports from unaffected regions can continue. This action is intended to stabilize the market, protect agricultural jobs, and ensure the continuity of safe food supplies.
Key points
US authorities are empowered to negotiate contingency plans (like regionalization or zoning) with trade partners in advance of animal disease outbreaks.
The goal is to quickly resume exports of livestock and animal products to minimize economic losses for farmers and food producers.
