Summary

Requires the Secretary of Agriculture, working with the U.S. Trade Representative, to deliver an annual unclassified report to Congress on the competitiveness of U.S. specialty crop exports (an optional classified annex is allowed). The report must identify foreign tariffs, quotas, and non‑tariff barriers that affect exports, estimate impacts and any forgone export value when feasible, assess whether measures violate or fall under international agreements, describe U.S. government actions taken or planned to address those measures, disclose certain previously unobligated funds and reasons, and publish the unclassified portion in machine‑readable form after seeking public comment.
