Bill overview
The Fresh Produce Procurement Reform Act of 2023 aims to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables for individuals facing food insecurity by establishing a program run by the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service. This program will contract with growers, distributors, and food hubs to procure U.S.-grown produce, prioritizing local and socially disadvantaged farmers. The program will also provide resources to help farmers meet food safety standards and support organizations that distribute produce to vulnerable populations.
