Red Sun Farms is Jem D International Partners LP, an Ontario-based partnership formed in 2003 by two Canadian family produce companies, J-D Marketing (Leamington) Inc. and Golden Jem Produce Inc., joined by a third Canadian partner, Red Sun Farms Canada Inc., in 2012. This is stated in the entity's 2024 annual report filed under Canada's Bill S-211, attested by president Jim DiMenna. Corporations Canada has no federal registration for Red Sun Farms or the partner names, consistent with an Ontario provincial partnership, and no source found ties the vendor to a Mexican or other foreign parent.

Red Sun Farms grows in Kingsville, Ontario, in Dublin, Virginia, and in three Mexican regions (La Piedad, San Miguel de Allende and Penjamo). Its 2024 Bill S-211 report states partner farms in Mexico make up a majority of its supply each year; the Canada/US split is not separately published, so it is estimated from the site's location count, weighted toward what most likely reaches Canadian shelves across a full year given greenhouse operations run close to year-round in all three countries.

Greenhouse harvest and packing work is labour-intensive and Mexican partner farms carry the majority of growing volume, so the workforce is estimated as plurality Mexican; no country-level headcount is published.

No page names a seed breeder, growing-media or packaging supplier. The mix estimates Dutch and European seed genetics and greenhouse substrate, common to high-tech greenhouse operators generally, with local packaging and fertilizer roughly following the manufacturing mix by growing country; this is an industry estimate, not a vendor statement, because none was found.
