Creates a grant program to boost sales of American-grown fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
This bill would create a new grant program within the Department of Agriculture. It would set aside $75 million each year to help organizations promote and expand the market for American-grown specialty crops like fruits, vegetables, and nuts. This means more support for farmers and potentially more options for consumers.
Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program dedicated to boosting the domestic market for American-grown specialty crops. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Agriculture would create a new grant program, setting aside $75 million each year starting in the government's budget year 2026. This money would go to eligible organizations to help them promote and expand the sales of U.S. fruits, vegetables, and nuts to American consumers.
