Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of the peppermint candy cane manufacturer's business to Mexico was caused by a quota established by the U.S. government. The quota restricted the amount of sugar that the manufacturer could import into the United States, making it too expensive to continue their operations in Albany, Georgia. In Mexico, there are no restrictions on the amount of sugar that can be brought into the nation, making it a more cost-effective option for the manufacturer.
