Soy foods are cheap in China so entrepreneurs rather import the finished products than start a whole new mini-industry here. Since edamame is not a popular American snack, why invest in a whole new industry for so few customers? It's simply much cheaper to import these.

This is why American farmers suffered when Trump put in his tariffs. In fact, experts say we lost the tariff war because the US had to reimburse the farmers for losses. And they will again, if Trump puts in new tariffs. China is already threatening to buy more soybeans from Brazil and American soybean farmers are panicking. And if you think that were talking about a small industry, you're wrong. In 2023, we exported $15.06 BILLION of soybeans to China. That's more than ALL the agricultural products exported to the European Union.
The actual answer to the question is that these are manufactured in China because China has a large soybean industry. They eat and make more soy foods than any other country. They have the interest, technology and infrastructure. Soy is a major component of Chinese cuisine. In this case, they actually buy the soybeans from America. They then cook, process and package them to be resold back to us. The identical edamame is sold under other brands in other countries.

BUT...these are not safe for the uh...dry mouth munchies. You will want plenty of water when consuming these as they act like saltines in your mouth and dry it up pretty good.
