Agriculture Export Promotion Act of 2025

This bill aims to strengthen the competitiveness of U.S. agricultural products in global markets by extending and expanding key export promotion programs. It reauthorizes the Market Access Program (MAP) and the Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMDCP) for an additional five years, from 2025 through 2029. The legislation proposes a substantial increase in financial support for these initiatives. Annual funding for the Market Access Program would nearly double from $200,000,000 to $400,000,000 , while the Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program would see its allocation increase from $34,500,000 to $69,000,000 . Overall, the bill raises the total annual funding for agricultural trade promotion from $255,000,000 to $489,500,000 . These expansions are justified by findings that past export promotion efforts have generated significant economic returns, created jobs, and increased agricultural export revenue. The bill seeks to counteract the erosion of program impact due to static funding and inflation, and to enhance the ability of U.S. producers to compete with expanding foreign export promotion efforts.
