What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Securing American Agriculture Act," directs the Secretary of Agriculture to provide an annual assessment to House and Senate Agriculture committees. The assessment focuses on how much the United States depends on the People's Republic of China for critical agricultural products or inputs. It requires the Secretary to examine domestic production capacity and potential supply chain bottlenecks. Additionally, the Secretary must provide recommendations to reduce this dependency and mitigate potential threats. The bill specifically defines critical inputs to include items like equipment, fuel, fertilizers, and seed.
