On November 3 at 10 a.m. EDT, the House Agriculture Committee will hold a hearing on supply chain challenges.
The hearing, The Immediate Challenges to our Nation’s Food Supply Chain, is expected to address the wide-ranging supply disruptions in the U.S. food and agricultural sectors.
Last week, ASA led the effort for members of the Ag CEO Council to highlight agricultural supply chain issues to the administration.
The council submitted a letter compiled by ASA staff and signed onto by ASA and 16 other top ag groups to the Department of Transportation, which has coordinated this effort on behalf of the White House’s Supply Chain Task Force.
The CEO correspondence was in response to President Biden’s February 24, 2021, Executive Order on America’s Supply Chains and outlines the most problematic areas for the ag industry, including transportation costs, labor availability, the global fertilizer market, and more.
