June 30, 2026 — U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana) has introduced the Home Market Restoration Act of 2026, a bill designed to limit imports of crawfish, shrimp, and catfish by setting higher duty rates once designated quotas are reached.
“Louisiana producers can compete with anyone if trade is fair,” Cassidy said. “Whether it is crawfish, shrimp, rice, or catfish, America cannot let foreign competitors flood our markets and push our producers out of business.”
