You suggest that biscuits (what we in the US call cookies) are shipped globally. I don't think that makes sense. My thinking:

- relative costs of shipping bulk ingredients vs finished and packaged baked goods

- automation makes lower cost labor less important

- loss of shelf life that shipping the finished goods entails

Corporations are profit driven (Friedman's "shareholder value") which makes them sociopathic monsters - but it also makes their behavior predictable.

FWIW, here in the US, there's a very popular cookie sold by the Girl Scouts. Those available in the Eastern part of the US are from a different manufacturing facility than those in the Western part.
