WASHINGTON, DC May 16, 2013 NFI congratulates the House Agriculture Committee on passage of a 2013 Farm Bill. To move such a complex piece of legislation, balancing investments that support American Farmers and related food industries with necessary cost savings is a major accomplishment.

NFI applauds the committee for repealing the duplicative USDA catfish inspection program. The committee chose sound fiscal policy and a commitment to grow rural economies by protecting trading opportunities in export markets for American farm products.

NFI is the leading trade association for the fish and seafood industry whose members represent a variety of businesses ranging from the water to the table. For more information visit our Web site at www.AboutSeafood.com.
