China expanding exports of horticultural products to United States

摘要

The upward trend for U.S. imports of horticultural commodities from China continued in 2008, when the value rose to nearly US 2 bn dollar, compared with US 1.4 bn in 2007 and US 508 dollar in 2003. The trade free policy advocated by officials in Washington has contributed to the rise in U.S. imports of various commodities from China. The leading supplier for U.S. imports of concentrated apple juice (CAJ), garlic, water chestnuts, and some other commodities is China.
