• Fresh Mushrooms Fair Trade CoalitioncoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 15 January 2026JM Farms is a member of the Fresh Mushrooms Fair Trade Coalition, which represents domestic mushroom growers and packers. The coalition initiated antidumping and countervailing duty petitions against Canadian fresh mushroom imports, arguing that low-priced and subsidized Canadian imports have materially injured the U.S. fresh mushroom industry. JM Farms benefited from the January 2026 ITC preliminary finding supporting these claims.
