The technical director of the 2KR Project who is responsible for relations with Japan Vasile Bumacov, ex-minister of agriculture, said more Japanese agricultural machinery is to be brought to Moldova. Another goal is to attract more tourists from this country.
On August 27, Vasile Bumacov returned from a trip made to Japan. “We make effort to promote our wines there. We already signed an agreement with a company, which sells our wines through the supermarket chain. In Tokyo, we presented the companies with which we cooperate. We told the press about our wines. We also discussed the next projects and visited the Foreign Ministry where we had a meeting with their deputy minister as the Japanese financing goes through this ministry,” Vasile Bumacov stated for IPN.
Bumacov noted that they want Moldova to be mechanized with Japanese tractors and equipment. Also, the Moldovan wine sells well in Japan and they intend to attract more Japanese tourists to visit the Moldovan wineries.
The 2KR Project was launched in 2000 with the aim of supplying the Moldovan farmers with agricultural machines. Meanwhile, almost 5,000 Moldovan farmers were helped to purchase 7,500 units of agricultural machinery.
