US to ban purchases of farmland by Chinese nationals and foreign adversaries, citing national security
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The USDA will ban Chinese nationals from buying US farmland and seek to reclaim 346,915 acres already owned due to national security and espionage concerns, officials said.
- On July 8, 2025, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced a ban on Chinese nationals and foreign adversaries from purchasing U.S. farmland, citing national security risks.
- The ban followed reports that Chinese companies owned 277,336 acres of U.S. agricultural land as of December 2023, raising concerns about foreign control over critical resources.
- USDA highlighted that Chinese ownership is concentrated in states like Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri, while the Pentagon will monitor land near military bases to address security vulnerabilities.
- Rollins emphasized that American agriculture involves defending the country against foreign entities acquiring farmland, misappropriating research, and exposing critical systems that support us to significant risks.
- The new policy and related bipartisan legislation aim to enhance transparency, review foreign land transactions, and prevent further foreign adversarial acquisitions to protect the nation's food supply.
