Armenian yogurt may be produced in Japan
January 02, 2014 | 10:32
About three dozen Armenians live in Japan, Hrant Poghosyan, Armenia's
Ambassador to Japan, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
In Poghosyan's words, around half of these Armenians resides in
capital city Tokyo.
`The number has grown several times in the last decades. Our small
[Armenian] diaspora in Japan lives quite harmoniously, and it gets
together regularly on national holidays and events,' the ambassador
noted.
And according to Japanese data, solely seven Japanese permanent
residents are registered in Armenia.
But the diplomat did not give any numbers in response to the query on
the goods turnover between Armenia and Japan.
`The bulk of the Japanese products reaches Armenia through third
countries. Armenia exports medical serum, cognac [i.e., brandy], and
the `Narine' probiotic to Japan. The possibility of starting Armenian
yogurt production in Japan is looked into,' Hrant Poghosyan said.
