This bill, titled the Agricultural Risk Review Act of 2025, seeks to strengthen national security oversight of foreign investments in the U.S. agricultural sector. It achieves this by amending the Defense Production Act of 1950 to include the Secretary of Agriculture as a member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The Secretary will participate in reviews of transactions involving agricultural land , agriculture biotechnology, or the broader agriculture industry, encompassing transportation, storage, and processing. This ensures agricultural expertise is integrated into critical investment reviews. Furthermore, the bill establishes a new process for CFIUS to consider "reportable agricultural land transactions." These are defined as acquisitions of agricultural land by foreign persons from the People's Republic of China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, or the Islamic Republic of Iran, which the Secretary of Agriculture believes are covered transactions based on intelligence. Upon notification from the Secretary, CFIUS must determine if such a transaction is covered and whether a review is warranted. The requirements for these specific countries will sunset if they are removed from the list of foreign adversaries.
