We take a look at six of world’s most expensive foods we’ve covered and why they are smuggled. For all of them, the high prices come with high demand. This creates a big incentive for smugglers, who are looking for ways to cut corners and cash in. So why are smugglers targeting these foods? And how are governments and food producers fighting back?

I’m so sick watching this, humanity deserves to perish, the sooner the better…
I find it hilarious how people world-wide will do anything to report to friends they had a “Fine dining experience”.
Greed
No one human has the authority to tell another they can’t grow a plant.
That is the most absurd concept.
Absolutely disgusting.
You can keep your shitty “golden kiwi”.
Eat the fruit and vegetables that are grown in your area.
China is the problem
25 years more.., pregnent need a license😂
I made my own maple syrup in Ontario back in the day. I’d have enough to last me a year. I never sold any of it. I gave some of it away. Those were the days. In 2002, the province told me I was breaking the law because I was “packing” the syrup and “transporting” it from my forest to my house across a public road. We’re talking about 10 gallons.
I also began receiving anonymous notes telling me to stop tapping my trees or “they might burn down next summer”.
Ontario……..and Canada………..have turned into a socialist dystopia.
I sold my home and moved to the USA.
She thinks “the elite” eat street food. Lol
Why should they own a fruit? Did they develop it from a lab 🧪?
This is so ridiculous food ..they do know God giveth and he can take it away.. droughts and famine could happen in a blink of an eye and it doesn’t pick and choose. Greedy world.
China seems to be a significant and recurring theme in this documentary.
Greed. That sums up the whole video….. Greed
This is wy laws and regulations are needed. People only care for themselves.
This literally does the opposite of what they say “keep prices low” it actually keeps prices high!! Canada ur government is gross
