[quote=Anonymous]It probably took less time for me to Google this answer than it took for you to type your OP. [b]Why does America import apple juice from China?[/b] [url]https://www.foodqualityandsafety.com/article/agriculture-chinese-apples-assurance-of-safety/[/url] [quote]The growth of U.S. imports from China has exploded over the past five years; apple juice concentrate is a perfect example. Recent statistics indicate that 78 percent of the concentrate we import comes from China. [b]The reason: China grows one-half of the world’s crops.[/b] [/quote] The US does not grow enough apples and the farmer make more money from just distributing the apples as fruits. It isn't cost effective for more than a couple of vendors to process apples into apple juice. So you have Welch's and Martinelli's and that's about it. The rest of the US fruit crop is sold as fruit.[/quote]
