The country of origin for apple juice sold in the USA varies by brand and product. Most apple juice sold in the U.S. is made from imported apple juice concentrate, with China being the largest supplier, accounting for about two-thirds of the U.S. supply. Other countries exporting concentrate to the U.S. include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Poland, and Turkey. However, some brands use apples grown in the United States, particularly from states like New York, Washington, and California.
