U.S. investigates Canadian fresh mushroom imports for unfair trade practices

The U.S. International Trade Commission is investigating Canadian fresh mushroom imports for alleged unfair pricing and subsidies. The investigation aims to determine if the U.S. mushroom industry has been harmed by these imports, with preliminary findings due October 31. A coalition of U.S. growers filed the petition. Canadian mushroom industry representatives deny the claims, stating they are confident in their compliance with trade rules and warning of potential supply chain disruptions.
