The Corn Refiners Association (CRA) applauds the bipartisan, bicameral reintroduction of the Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act, led by Sens. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Pete Ricketts (R-NE). A companion house measure is led by Reps. Mark Alford (R-MO), Angie Craig (D-MN), Mark Messmer (R-IN), and Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-MI). This legislation will strengthen America’s leadership in biomanufacturing, expand markets for corn-based bioproducts, and support job creation across rural America.
The Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act strengthens the federal commitment to renewable, plant-based products by updating key USDA programs, improving purchasing standards, and expanding public awareness. It underscores the goal of advancing sustainable technologies, building resilient supply chains, and supporting American agriculture and manufacturing.
The Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act enhances USDA’s BioPreferred Program, promoting wider adoption of renewable, bioproducts made from U.S. agricultural commodities like corn.
