Based in Washington, DC, it operates as a large government agency with nationwide responsibilities.

Its work includes efforts to end hunger in the United States and abroad. In 2025, the USDA released a guide on maximum residue limits (MRLs) to aid exports of specialty crops, reflecting continued support for trade and agricultural development.
