Summary
The American Seafood Competitiveness Act of 2026 amends the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act so that commercial fishermen, fishing vessels, and fish‑processing facilities are treated like farms for USDA loan and grant purposes. It also lets the USDA waive matching‑fund requirements for seafood projects and directs the department to provide outreach and coordinate with NOAA. The goal is to strengthen the U.S. seafood sector’s competitiveness.
