Company Description
Farmmi, Inc. (NASDAQ: FAMI) is an agricultural products supplier based in the People’s Republic of China, with a long operating history in the edible fungi segment. According to the company’s public disclosures, Farmmi was founded in 1998 and focuses on the processing, marketing, wholesale, retail and distribution of edible mushrooms, including shiitake and wood ear (Mu Er), as well as other agricultural products. Over time, the company has also developed logistics and warehousing capabilities that support its agricultural supply chain and related services.
Farmmi’s core business centers on supplying edible fungi and other agricultural products to global markets. Company descriptions in its press releases state that it acts as a supplier, processor and retailer of these products, and that it distributes high-quality agricultural goods primarily through established distribution channels. In various releases, Farmmi notes that it sells products both online and offline, reflecting a mix of traditional and e‑commerce driven sales channels. The company’s product mix, as described in third‑party and regulatory summaries, includes shiitake mushrooms, Mu Er (wood ear) fungus, other edible fungi, red dates, corn, tapioca and other agricultural commodities.
In addition to its agricultural product activities, Farmmi has emphasized the role of technology and supply chain management in its business. The company has described itself as an agricultural technology enterprise focused on a supply chain platform that promotes edible mushroom products and agriculture technology. This supply chain focus extends beyond production and processing into warehousing, logistics and cross‑border distribution services that support both its own agricultural products and, increasingly, third‑party goods.
Global agricultural products supplier with expanding logistics operations
Farmmi’s disclosures indicate that its agricultural products are sold into multiple international markets. According to external company descriptions referenced in its materials, the company’s products have been distributed in China and to overseas regions such as Southeast Asia, Japan, North America, Europe and the Middle East under the Forasen and Farmmi brands. This international reach is supported by Farmmi’s long experience in the Chinese agricultural products industry and its development of a stable international customer base over more than two decades, as highlighted in its North America logistics launch announcement.
Alongside agricultural production and processing, Farmmi has increasingly highlighted its role as a distribution logistics services provider. In several press releases, the company describes itself as an agricultural products supplier, processor and logistics service provider. This reflects its move into warehousing, cargo transfer and bonded warehouse services, particularly in North America, where the company has been building out a network of logistics facilities through its subsidiaries.
North American warehousing and logistics platform
Farmmi has reported a series of steps to establish and expand a warehousing and logistics footprint in the United States. In a release on the launch of its North American warehousing and distribution center services, the company stated that it established its first warehouse and logistics center after acquiring the right to use a large storage facility in Los Angeles, California. Trial operations at this logistics center began in August 2024, and the company reported receiving warehousing orders for multiple shipping containers on the first day of operations.
The company further disclosed that in 2024 it started warehouse and logistics services in the U.S. to provide cargo transfer and bonded warehouse services. These activities are operated through Farmmi’s U.S. subsidiaries, including Farmmi USA Inc. and Suppchains Group Inc. Farmmi USA Inc. operates logistics and warehousing bases in the United States, including facilities on the West Coast and, as later announced, on the East Coast. The company has described these facilities as important to enhancing warehousing capabilities, streamlining logistics operations, reducing shipping costs and shortening delivery times for customers in U.S. regions served.
On the East Coast, Farmmi announced that its subsidiary Farmmi USA Inc. signed a lease for a warehouse in Somerset, New Jersey, and later reported the grand opening of a new warehouse in New Jersey. The company stated that this facility significantly expands its logistics and warehousing operations on the U.S. East Coast and reinforces its strategic presence in the American market. Farmmi characterizes this expansion as a major step in extending its U.S. logistics and warehousing operations from the West Coast to the East Coast, thereby covering a substantial portion of the U.S. market.
Farmmi has also reported a lease agreement for an additional warehouse in Robbinsville, New Jersey, through Farmmi USA Inc., which it describes as a large‑scale facility that increases its total warehousing footprint in the U.S. The company links this expansion to strengthening logistics and distribution capabilities, improving supply chain efficiency and enhancing delivery speed and cost controls, with the goal of better supporting growing customer demand and integrating warehousing and logistics operations across U.S. regions.
Suppchains Group Inc. and FDA‑registered food facility
In its more recent disclosures, Farmmi has highlighted the role of its U.S. subsidiary Suppchains Group Inc. in building a global supply chain service platform. The company announced that Suppchains Group Inc. obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Facility Registration for a warehousing facility in Chino, California. According to Farmmi’s announcement, this registration allows the facility to lawfully conduct food‑related warehousing, distribution, storage, shipment, inventory and logistics services for food products, dietary supplements and certain agricultural products in accordance with U.S. federal regulations.
The company’s description of this FDA registration emphasizes that the facility is registered to handle a broad range of food categories, including coffee and tea, vegetable oils, grain products, condiments and agricultural commodities. Farmmi also notes that the facility is registered to support storage and distribution of dietary supplements, such as vitamins, minerals and proteins, as well as meal replacement and nutritional food products. The company presents this as an important step in expanding into cross‑border nutritional and wellness markets and in constructing a comprehensive, high‑compliance logistics ecosystem.

In its statements about Suppchains Group Inc., the company links this objective to the development of a globalized and specialized supply chain service, particularly for food and healthcare‑related products where regulatory compliance and food safety are central considerations.
