Elnuevodiario.com.ni reported statements by Azucena Castillo, General Manager of APEN: "The Japanese market represents a great opportunity for Nicaraguan products, provided we are willing to take on the challenge of quality. This is why the organization of producers is working on strategies to promote our products so that they may have a faster and better acceptance by consumers, and we are counting on the support of the Japanese embassy in Nicaragua for that. Through the embassy, we have sent human resources from our association to meet and explore the inner workings of this difficult market. "
