The US sugar price is about 20 percent higher than the “world” market due to protectionist agricultural programs

Actually, in the first quarter, US sugar was 76% more expensive.

And throw in those 85. per hour Chinese wages and it's a win win for Hershey!! An employers dream come true!!

Hershey moving to Communist China is a good thing, and the only way Hershey would survive or compete. This new world economy sure is great for Americans.
