To require a report on the competitiveness of United States exports of specialty crops.

# Summary of HR 7670 **What the Bill Does** HR 7670 would require the federal government to prepare and submit a report analyzing how competitive U.S. exports of specialty crops are in global markets. Specialty crops include fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other non-commodity agricultural products. The report would examine factors affecting U.S.

competitiveness—such as trade policies, production costs, quality standards, and market access—to help identify challenges and opportunities for American farmers in this sector. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects specialty crop farmers and agricultural businesses in the United States, along with related industries like food processing and distribution. The report could also influence trade negotiators and policymakers as they develop strategies to support U.S. agricultural exports. **Current Status** As of now, HR 7670 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), whose district includes agricultural areas in Oregon.
