Prohibition of Agricultural Land for Foreign Adversaries Act

This bill, known as the "Prohibition of Agricultural Land for Foreign Adversaries Act," seeks to prevent certain foreign entities from acquiring agricultural land and participating in U.S. agricultural programs. It specifically targets "covered persons," defined as individuals or entities associated with the governments of North Korea, Iran, China, or Russia . The legislation mandates that the President prohibit these covered persons from purchasing any public or private agricultural land , including ranching land, within the United States. The President is authorized to use authorities under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act for implementation and to impose penalties for violations. Additionally, the bill directs the President to prevent covered persons from participating in most Department of Agriculture programs , with an exception for programs related to food inspection or other food safety regulatory requirements.
