To amend the Agricultural Reconciliation Act of 1993 to make leaf tobacco an eligible commodity for the Market Access Program.

This bill would allow leaf tobacco to be included in the Market Access Program, a federal initiative that helps fund the promotion of American agricultural products in foreign markets. By making tobacco an eligible commodity, the legislation would permit tobacco trade associations and cooperatives to apply for federal cost-share assistance to market their products overseas. For citizens, this change would mean that taxpayer-funded resources previously reserved for other crops could be used to support the export and international sale of U.S.-grown tobacco.
