摘要：

The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance (SCFBA) issued the following statement today in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s updates to the Marketing Assistance for Specialty Crops (MASC) initiative, which includes an additional USD 650 million investment. Speciality crop growers across the U.S. are facing significant and unique challenges. The USDA’s MASC program represents an important step in aiding growers in their recovery from economic hardships. With the latest updates, including additional funding, increased payment limitations, and an extended application window, the USDA has recognized the critical need for enhanced support. These measures are expected to stabilize farms, strengthen the industry, and ensure the continued availability of domestically grown speciality crops, such as nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, and tree nuts, which are essential components of a balanced diet.
