US to ban purchases of farmland by Chinese nationals and foreign adversaries, citing national security
UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – The USDA's National Farm Security Action Plan targets over 265,000 acres owned by Chinese investors, focusing on land near U.S. military bases to prevent espionage and protect national security.
- On July 8, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced a ban on Chinese and foreign adversaries purchasing U.S. farmland due to national security concerns.
- Driven by security fears, USDA data shows Chinese investors held about 276,000 acres near US military bases in 2023, raising espionage concerns.
- USDA's National Farm Security Action Plan aims to restrict Chinese farmland ownership, including enforcement measures like divestiture and receivership, to strengthen biosecurity and protect supply chains.
- In response, several Republican governors backed the plan, and Rollins joined CFIUS to oversee foreign investment reviews, reinforcing efforts to curb Chinese farmland ownership.
- Texas SB 17, effective September 1, 2025, aims to prevent foreign land ownership, with an executive order anticipated to claw back existing Chinese purchases, strengthening national security.
