You need to set the UseItemStyleForSubItems property of
the parent ListViewItem to false before the
individual subitem settings will have any effect, i.e.

         private void LoadData(DataTable table, ListView list)
         {
            ListViewItem item;
            ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem subItem;

            list.Items.Clear();
            foreach(DataRow row in table.Rows)
            {
               item = list.Items.Add(row[0].ToString());
               item.UseItemStyleForSubItems = false;

               for(int i = 1; i < table.Columns.Count; i++)
               {
                  subItem = item.SubItems.Add(row[i].ToString());
                  
                  if( subItem.Text.Equals("Produce") == true )
                     subItem.ForeColor = Color.Red;
               }
            }
         }
