Chinese chopsticks: Made in USA

It looks like opposite worlds: America providing chopsticks to China. China has a shortage of disposable wooden chopsticks
so an American company started to manufacture and deliver.

China has a severe lack of wood but in the state of Georgia there are plenty of poplars and gum trees and manufacturing the wooden chopsticks is cheap; less then one cent per piece.
The company aims to manufacture 10 million sets a day for export by the end of this year.
