Enhancing Biotechnology Market Opportunities For U.S. Exporters And American Farmers

From US Department of Agriculture

This grant aims to support activities that promote the America First policy agenda to help expand market access for U.S. agricultural products and to address current and potential trade barriers to U.S. products derived from agricultural biotechnologies through the removal of barriers to the adoption, use, and trade of these products. American farmers rely on agricultural biotechnology products, with over 90% of corn and soybeans derived from these technologies. In 2025, American farmers exported over $51 billion in agricultural biotechnology products worldwide. However, the biotechnology policies of many trading partners in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia limit the trading potential for American agricultural biotechnology products. Additionally, many trading partners lack regulatory frameworks for the development, commercialization, and trade of animal biotechnology products, which limits U.S. innovation and economic development. The absence of a trade-facilitative system slows the potential of these innovative products which are already in active development.
