What this bill would do

The Securing American Agriculture Act directs the Secretary of Agriculture to produce an annual assessment regarding how much the United States relies on the People's Republic of China for critical agricultural products or inputs. This assessment must be submitted to specific committees in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The report is intended to identify potential supply chain bottlenecks that could be exploited if the People's Republic of China weaponizes such dependencies. It must also include recommendations to reduce this dependency and mitigate potential threats. Finally, the bill outlines how information used for these assessments must be protected and handled.
