    GROWING INNOVATION IN THE HEARTLAND: President Donald J. Trump is working to streamline the regulatory maze for agricultural biotechnology.

  • Today, President Trump is signing an executive order directing Federal agencies to streamline the agricultural biotechnology regulatory processes.

  • Biotechnology has been used in farming for decades to produce safer, more sustainable crops.
  • Streamlining the biotechnology regulatory process will help create an environment that fosters greater investment in these innovative crops.

    • The President made a commitment to finalize the approval of year-round E15 sales by the summer, and he has delivered.
    • President Trump initiated the process to approve year-round sales in October of 2018.
  • This expansion will provide consumers with more choices, while supporting America’s hardworking farmers.
  • The Administration is also improving the renewable fuel standard (RFS) program by increasing transparency and reducing the potential for price manipulation in the Renewable Identification Number (RIN) market.

ALLY TO AGRICULTURE: President Trump has been an ally and friend to America’s farmers.
