Bill introduced to secure US vitamin, amino acid supply chain

The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) is applauding a bill that would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to study global supply chain markets for U.S. agricultural inputs, including feed ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids used in feed and pet food production.

The Securing American Agriculture Act (S. 5277) has been introduced in the U.S. Senate, after its companion bill, H.R. 8003, was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in April. It would bolster and protect the domestic food and agriculture supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign adversaries.
