(1) What year wheat flour and other food items were banned.
(2) What year contraband started,bringing in these food items .
(2) Which Ethnicity was the majority in the illegal trade.
Flour was produced by an American owned mill. It was ordered to cease production of wheaten flour in early 82. Smuggling from Suriname already had a ten year history. The first 5 year headed by Arthur lewis failed in 72. Cash became scarce and Burnham began his swing to the left. Indians began this smuggling trade Blacks started the Cuyuni/ Mazuruni into Venezuela. They were funded by mainly indians who bought the contraband. Later it became a migratory route into el tigre and the puerto ordez regon for indians. Some 60 thousand moved there and they dominated the border trade and developed the these as drug routes as well.
Thanks D2.
