The US made a lot of its own sugar in the past either though sugar beets, or by growing cane in the extreme south, but that era is largely over (ignoring corn syrup): it’s cheaper to import it from places where imperialism keeps wages low.
Most US food is not local, unless you go to a farm share or market.
