(VIDEO) This is How Venezuelan Food Items are Sold in Aruba

Jan 08th  2018 - Even the mayonnaise arrives to Aruba through  smugglers who also sell Venezuelan food items sacked from the country at speculative prices.

There are food items marked with their original prices in Bolivars and sold in dollars much above their real value, the TeleSUR correspondent Madelein García denounced.

During a visit at a Chinese grocery store, the journalist showed how a mayonnaise Mavesa with a Public Sale Price of Bs. 11,380 and made in October of 2017 was sold at $3. Meanwhile the price of the same mayonnaise brand is sold with overprice at more than Bs 250,000.

The sea and air communication flow with the islands Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire were closed by President Nicolás Maduro aimed at stopping the smuggling of Venezuelan products and strategic material. The Venezuelan leader expects to resume the legal commercial flow with the governments of these islands.
