Several U.S. lawmakers, including Senator Mike Crapo and Representative Randy Feenstra, are criticizing the Biden administration's trade strategy for causing a sharp decline in agricultural exports. They emphasize the need to expand market access and reduce trade barriers for American farmers. Feenstra introduced the FRIDGE Act to enhance export opportunities, while also proposing the Crop Insurance for Future Farmers Act to support young producers. Senator Todd Young and others are urging the administration to boost agricultural exports and enhance product competitiveness abroad.
American producers need trade agreements that will keep them competitive and empower them to feed the world. Looking forward to the work ahead by the bipartisan Agriculture Trade Caucus to ensure new, fair trade agreements. https://t.co/OhMDPr50zV

Joined with a group of colleagues to urge the Biden Administration to increase U.S. agricultural exports and improve the competitiveness of U.S. products abroad. Increasing market access is critical for Hoosier farmers and producers. https://t.co/rFV1skYlJ9
My Crop Insurance for Future Farmers Act is a vital investment in the next generation of #IA04 farmers. My bill will lower the cost of crop insurance for our young producers and keep China far away from our farmland.
A continued decline in U.S. agricultural exports is avoidable and unacceptable. The Biden administration must take immediate action to ensure this does not become a long-term trend. https://t.co/Xm6QoyE3DX
We need to open new export markets for #IA04 farmers and producers. That's why I introduced the FRIDGE Act to build refrigeration infrastructure in developing markets so that our producers can sell their high-quality goods in global markets and keep more money in their pockets.
The sharp decline in U.S. agricultural exports is avoidable, unacceptable and the direct result of the unambitious trade strategy of this Administration. We must do more to meaningfully expand market access and reduce trade barriers for American farmers. https://t.co/hM54XD6Ad9
