After several years of absence, early this week Aruba could again welcome the first vessel with fruits, vegetables and other merchandise from Venezuela. The imported goods from Venezuela will help to lower the cost of living in Aruba.
Aruba reopened the maritime border with Venezuela per May 1, opening up the possibilities of importing fruits, vegetables and other products from Venezuela at much lower prices than from the United States or Europe.
Customs and Immigration awaited the arrival of the vessels, while several entrepreneurs were there to receive their goods. The owners of Al Jazar Trading and Fruteria Frangie were very happy to receive 40 tons of merchandise which they will be selling at their store and to restaurants at a much lower price than the Aruba people are used to.
