OCE economists conduct research and analysis on the economic implications of policies and programs affecting the U.S. food and fiber system and rural areas. OCE supports USDA policy decision-making by analyzing the impact of proposals and coordinating a response among several USDA agencies. Requests for analyses come from the Secretary, other Administration officials, and members of Congress. These requests usually relate to proposed changes in USDA programs, policies, and legislation.
