CONGRESSMAN DAVID G. VALADAO URGES PRESIDENT BIDEN TO ADDRESS SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS FOR AGRICULTURE EXPORTERS

Statement

Today, Congressman David G. Valadao (R-CA) and Representatives Jim Costa (D-CA), Dusty Johnson (R-SD), and Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) led a letter to President Joe Biden alerting the administration of the drastic impact the supply chain crisis continues to have on America's agriculture exporters.

"The Biden administration must take immediate action to address the disturbances in the supply chain to ensure our farmers in the Central Valley can continue to feed the world," said Congressman Valadao. "Transportation restrictions, limited availability of containers and chassis, and discriminatory ocean container carrier practices are significantly contributing to the challenges our agriculture exporters are facing. It is critical the administration prioritizes resolving these urgent concerns."
