Purpose and Summary
Supporting All Producers Act of 2025 or the SAP Act of 2025
This bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to solicit input from maple industry stakeholders with respect to the research and education priorities of the maple industry for the Acer Access and Development Program (Acer). Specifically, the bill amends Acer to require USDA to consider the information provided through consultation with the maple industry when making program grants.
The bill also extends the program's authorization through FY2030.
As background, Acer provides competitive grants to states, tribal governments, and research institutions to support their efforts to promote the domestic maple syrup industry through activities associated with, among other things, the promotion of (1) research and education related to maple syrup production, and (2) natural resource sustainability in the maple syrup industry.
Additionally, the bill includes measures to enhance marketing and promotion efforts for maple syrup products, both domestically and internationally. This is intended to help increase demand for American-made maple syrup and support the economic viability of maple syrup producers across the country.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 289 seeks to strengthen the maple syrup industry in the United States by providing support and resources to producers, promoting research and development, and expanding marketing efforts. These efforts are aimed at helping to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of the industry.
