Why are most candy canes sold in USA made in Mexico?
In the USA: have a look at any package of candy canes, and you are almost guaranteed to see "made in Mexico". Why is this? Is there some economic benefit? Or is most of the sort of equipment used for making candy canes in Mexico? Thank you.
I did a Google search on candy canes mexico, and an article appeared that suggests that the price of sugar might be a factor. Certainly there is an economic reason. Here is the article: http://www.retailmerchandising.net/cbus/archives/0801/0801spg.asp
It's probably cheaper to order them from Mexico because we have to pay our workers if we make them here. so, yes: economical benefit.
