Colombia ships 50 tonnes of holiday ham to Venezuela

Colombia has shipped around 50 tonnes (55 tons) of ham to Venezuela after protests broke out over shortages of the traditional holiday staple, an official said Saturday. The first two trucks of ham arrived in Venezuela on Friday night, a source from Colombia's national tax and customs office told AFP. The transport ministry said it had issued a firm a "special permit" to transport the ham to Barinas, western Venezuela.
