This bill amends the Defense Production Act of 1950 to bolster the national security review process for foreign investments in the United States agricultural sector. A key provision is the inclusion of the Secretary of Agriculture as a member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) for any covered transaction involving agricultural land , agriculture biotechnology, or the broader agriculture industry, including transportation, storage, and processing. Furthermore, the legislation mandates that CFIUS consider certain reportable agricultural land transactions . Specifically, upon notification from the Secretary of Agriculture, CFIUS must determine if a transaction involving the acquisition of agricultural land by a foreign person from a covered country (China, North Korea, Russia, or Iran) is a covered transaction and warrants a review. These requirements are designed to protect American agriculture from potential foreign adversary influence and will terminate for a country once it is removed from the list of foreign adversaries.
