important pesticide had not been made,
and $100 million worth of U.S. potato
exports to Korea were at risk.
Thankfully, working with USTR, USDA,
the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, the registrant
and the Korean government, a new MRL
was established in record time (four
months), and there was minimal trade
disruption. The U.S. potato industry
was fortunate: finding such a " fast " and
workable solution is rare.
MRLs are incredibly challenging, and
USTR and USDA are working hard to ensure
that U.S. agriculture is minimally hindered
due to this complicated issue.
The second policy solution I offered the
subcommittee was to fully fund the Technical
Assistance for Specialty Crops program.
TASC is funded under the 2018 Farm
Bill at $9 million annually and plays a
crucial role for specialty crop growers in
addressing trade barriers that emerge.
NPC's ability to tap into TASC funding was
essential during the U.S. potato industry's
fight to reopen the Mexican market for U.S.
fresh potatoes. In response to the Mexican
potato industry's legal efforts to block

access, NPC applied for TASC funds to hire
experts in Mexico City to fight this trade
barrier, culminating in the Mexican Supreme
Court's unanimous ruling in favor of U.S.
potato access in April 2022.
Without TASC, U.S. specialty crops would
be at a disadvantage and U.S. potatoes
would not be in Mexico, which is why NPC
seeks to ensure the program is funded in
the 2023 Farm Bill.
