This article was written by UC Berkeley ARE PhD student Liam Frolund. It is the first of several excellent articles written by students in my ARE 242 class this spring that I will publish here.
An article on how China captured market share in apples from Washington State (for consumption in east Asia) would be interesting. Further, as I understand it, an apple juice box in a downmarket US retailer is likely to be from China. Or at least containing a significant percentage of Chinese apple juice. As in, Chinese juice is shipped here in bulk, and repackaged as juice boxes in the USA. Country of origin labeling might be: 'Product of USA and Imported Ingredients'?
Super insightful!
