          <text>&lt;p&gt;This bill increases the authorization of appropriations for the Dairy Business Innovation&amp;nbsp;(DBI) Initiatives&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;for each fiscal year.&amp;nbsp;The bill also requires that there be a minimum of four regionally-located DBI&amp;nbsp;Initiatives, instead of the currently required three.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under the Agricultural Marketing Service, the DBI Initiatives support dairy businesses in the development, production, marketing, and distribution of dairy products. The current program includes four DBI Initiatives selected to&amp;nbsp;provide direct technical assistance and subawards to dairy businesses, including for niche dairy products and dairy products derived from cow milk, sheep milk, and goat milk.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
