Bill > S1652

This bill, the Safeguarding American Value-added Exports Act of 2023 (SAVE Act of 2023), amends the Agricultural Trade Act of 1978 to preserve foreign markets for U.S. agricultural commodities and food products that use common names. It defines "common name" as a name that is ordinarily or customarily used for an agricultural product, including wine grape varietals and traditional wine terms. The bill also requires the Secretary of Agriculture to coordinate with the U.S. Trade Representative to secure the right of U.S. agricultural producers, processors, and exporters to use these common names in foreign markets through negotiated agreements. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary and Trade Representative submit a report to Congress every 2 years on their efforts and successes in this area.
