Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to produce an annual report assessing U.S. dependency on critical agricultural products and inputs originating from the People’s Republic of China. The report must analyze domestic production capacity, supply‑chain bottlenecks, and include recommendations (in consultation with USTR, Commerce, and FDA) to reduce dependency, including legislative or regulatory options to encourage onshore or nearshore production.
Liberals worry about protectionism and environmental impacts
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clearly focused reporting requirement that identifies responsible parties, content, and confidentiality protections but lacks certain implementation and resourcing details that are commonly expected for a recurring, comprehensive assessment.

Covered inputs include equipment, fuel, fertilizers, feed, veterinary products, crop chemicals, seed, and other Secretary‑designated inputs.
Modest, administratively focused bill with national-security framing that is plausible to pass, especially if bundled into larger legislation; not guaranteed alone.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Liberals worry about protectionism and environmental impacts
Generally supportive of reducing risky supply‑chain dependencies, especially where public health or food security are concerned.
Cautious about protectionist responses and seeks safeguards for labor, environment, and civil liberties in any follow‑on policies.
Wants transparency on how recommendations affect workers and consumers.
Likely to view the bill as a practical, low‑cost way to inform policy on China dependencies and supply‑chain resilience.
Wants clear metrics, cost estimates, and evidence before endorsing specific legislative actions.
Values interagency consultation and confidentiality provisions.
Strongly inclined to support the bill as a national security measure to reduce reliance on China for critical agricultural inputs.
Views the assessment as a necessary step toward onshoring production and protecting the food supply.
May prefer stronger, faster policy steps following the report.
