A lot of the world’s most expensive foods get smuggled, but not always for the same reasons. And some smugglers even say they have legitimate reasons for illegally cashing in. 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?

oh so youre saying closed borders works?! who knew
As a Canadian, I only had the option to try Virgin Maple syrup in High school Cooking Class. Shit was mind changing delicious. It’s even rare here
Why would you use Bitcoin gold coins to represent money?
Stockfish is definitely up there!!! 😂😂
did not understand the fish thing in Nigeria, so the problem is about tax evasion?!
Copyright law prevent people from using the best practice once it is developed. If nobody can use it, and only one person profits that's a problem. It isn't supposed to work that way but so often the system is abused.
If consumption by rich countries of eel, lobster and bladder is criminalized, there will be no more illicit trade, but seems that blaming someone else is more convenient
Honestly, the only case can be made for the kiwi, it is a copyright infringement! alternatively, they can reach some kind of agreement to benefit!
Why do you always mess up with the map of India 😡
So Ottawa deliberately decrease the supply of syrup to raise prices and then they throw a fit when people buy elsewhere ?! FAIL
I'm glad you made this video, I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in Life until $75,000 biweekly began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!!!❤️
seems that without rich countries there would be no smuggling!!
Québec Maple producers have a Cartel like grip on supply/wholesale price, the syrup is not as rare as many believe, a business model they probably copied from the DeBeers diamond trade
😮😮😮
Why did they stole regular kiwi at first place from china that millions of years created intellectual property right
For the uninitiated, this isn't a "documentary", this is just a repost combining a bunch of older (individual) videos..
