H.R. 6593 establishes a new Domestic Organic Investment Program to strengthen America's organic farming and food production industry by providing grants to eligible entities—including organic producers, handlers, processors, and tribal governments—to expand domestic supply chain capacity. The program funds projects such as building storage and processing facilities, purchasing equipment, improving food safety systems, and developing markets for domestic organic products to reduce reliance on imported organics. Grants cap at $2 million for major infrastructure projects and $100,000 for equipment-only purchases, with recipients required to match federal funds (50% for large projects, 25% for equipment). The bill authorizes appropriations for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 and includes flexibilities like simplified application processes for smaller projects and potential waivers for beginning farmers, ranchers, and veterans.
