AAW Policy Bites: Trade & Market Access: Trade Infrastructure & Supply Chain Efficiency

Topic: Trade Infrastructure & Supply Chain Efficiency

U.S. agriculture depends on smooth, efficient transportation networks to move food, fiber, and fuel around the world. AAW supports strengthening trade infrastructure to ensure that American products reach global markets quickly and competitively.

📌 Our Position: AAW advocates for investments in ports, railways, and transportation corridors that connect rural producers with global trade routes. We support policies that reduce shipping delays, improve export logistics, and keep supply chains resilient.

🚢 Why It Matters: Bottlenecks in transportation drive up costs and slow exports, hurting farmers and rural economies. Strong trade infrastructure keeps American agriculture moving and competitive worldwide.
