United States House Agriculture Subcommittee on Specialty Crops, Rural Development and Foreign Agriculture

The House Subcommittee on Specialty Crops, Rural Development and Foreign Agriculture is a standing subcommittee within the House Agriculture Committee. Its jurisdiction includes such diverse crops as peanuts, sugar, and tobacco as well as overseeing marketing orders relating to those commodities. The committee also is responsible for overseeing biotechnology issues, rural development, farm security and family farming matters, foreign agricultural assistance, and trade promotion programs.

The subcommittee was previously known as the Subcommittee on Specialty Crops and Foreign Agriculture, but rural development was added to the subcommittee's portfolio at the start of the 110th Congress.
