Fruit import from Riohacha would benefit Aruba

Fundacion Rancho is aware of the ongoing work towards the official opening of Puerto Nuevo in La Guajira, which will facilitate product exports.

As an island, neighborhood, and foundation, the Stichting Rancho was present to witness what happened on Monday, which was a moment for them to test whether everything is in place so that the operations can start, according to Clifford Rosa, president of Stichting Rancho.

For the foundation, it was positive news. They saw that it was something necessary and currently they are considering who and how to continue, because as a foundation, they know that it is very difficult and tedious, considering the maritime system and everything that happens there.

The ship is also expected to arrive in Aruba at any moment. All of this is being monitored to ensure that everything is moving in the right direction.

CONTACT

According to Rosa, they are in direct contact with the port managers, as it is a very long process that finally cleared the documents so that legally they can deal with exports and imports at this port in La Guajira, which is Puerto Nuevo.

For several years, the foundation has been talking, working and getting everyone in touch so that the platform can be expanded. This is part of the process of starting a new era.

NECESSARY

This export benefits Aruba. Seeing that the foundation has invested a lot of time in the opening is positive, and something that needs to happen to improve our food safety.

The government is being asked to pay attention to ensure that food safety is something that everyone needs to be involved in to guarantee for our community.
