What this bill would do
The Promoting Rural Exports Act of 2025 aims to establish dedicated resources for rural businesses looking to sell products internationally. It directs the Assistant Secretary to create a National Rural Export Center at an existing Commercial Service office. Additionally, the bill authorizes the creation of up to nine regional rural export centers. These centers are intended to provide specialized market research and strategic planning services. By offering these resources, the bill seeks to help rural companies overcome barriers caused by their distance from major transportation and information hubs.
