It's all about the cheap labor. I'd had no idea either that basil was being brought in from Asia. I know that our supermarket sells huge, white garlic bulbs (I think they're bleached) and the come from China. I will buy only from California or Mexico; and soon, hopefully, will be growing my own. Did you know that a lot of chickens are now being sent to China for processing. I didn't have a good reaction to that information. What is going on ? Why is that necessary ?
