I don't know enough about the industry, but either Argentina lacks the packing industry to handle this stage of manufacturing, or equally likely, government interference with the market via tariff or regulation has made this the cheapest way to provide the product for the American market.

But, of course, the government still has a major effect — though if all regulation where to stop this problem would still remain.
