The "Fairness for Fruits and Vegetables Act of 2025" amends the Agricultural Trade Act of 1978 to establish an interagency working group focused on seasonal and perishable fruits and vegetables. This group, comprising representatives from the Department of Agriculture, U.S. Trade Representative, Department of Commerce, and other federal agencies, will continuously monitor and assess trade data and related information for these products. The working group is tasked with coordinating potential trade actions and investigations concerning seasonal or perishable agricultural products. It will also consult with agricultural trade advisory committees and domestic producers to identify threats posed by imports. Furthermore, the group will recommend programs or assistance to the Secretary of Agriculture to address market impacts affecting domestic producers of seasonal and perishable fruits and vegetables.
