IFPA Supports Bicameral, Bipartisan Domestic Organic Investment Act

December 10, 2025

Washington, DC — The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) today announced its support for the Domestic Organic Investment Act, introduced in the U.S. Senate and House with bipartisan leadership from Sens. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Reps. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wisconsin, and Andrea Salinas, D-Oregon.

“Among our membership, IFPA has numerous organic fruit and vegetable producers across the nation and the bipartisan legislation brought by Reps. Salinas and Van Orden provides exactly the kind of strategic investment the fresh produce industry needs to strengthen our supply chain. The Domestic Organic Investment Act invests in modern infrastructure, reduces long-standing supply chain bottlenecks, and most importantly, ensures that U.S. producers can meet rising consumer demand while keeping more economic opportunity in our rural communities. We’re proud to champion legislation that supports growers, expands markets, and builds a stronger, more resilient organic supply chain for the future. We are grateful to Senator Baldwin and Collins for their commitment to advancing this bill,” said IFPA CEO Cathy Burns.

While certified organic sales have grown to over $71.4 billion in 2024, domestic organic acreage has not kept pace with demand for organic products. The Domestic Organic Investment Act would make a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program permanent that helps solve supply chain gaps for the organic market by providing grants to farmers and businesses.
