This bill, known as the Specialty CROP Act of 2026, mandates an annual report from the Secretary of Agriculture, in consultation with the United States Trade Representative, to Congress. This report will detail the competitiveness of United States exports of specialty crops , providing a comprehensive analysis of the challenges faced by U.S. producers in international markets. A primary focus is to identify and analyze foreign trade barriers that significantly impede or distort U.S. specialty crop exports, including tariffs, quotas, and various non-tariff measures like sanitary and phytosanitary regulations and subsidies. It must also estimate the economic impact of these barriers on U.S. competitiveness and quantify the potential value of additional exports if these restrictions were absent. Furthermore, the report will assess whether these foreign practices are subject to international agreements and detail executive branch actions taken or planned to eliminate them, such as Section 301 actions, negotiations, or World Trade Organization engagements. Before its finalization, the Secretary must seek and incorporate comments from the public and the Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee for Trade in Fruits and Vegetables. The unclassified portion of this report will be made publicly available in a machine-readable format, promoting transparency and accessibility.
