Farm activities (The first Japanese entrepreneurs)


Published: Feb. 8, 2025 Modified: Feb. 11, 2025

Since the end of the 21st century, the presence of Japanese in Argentina can be noted. After the arrival of the first official immigrant to Argentina in 1886, others began to arrive in large numbers. In 1890, the first imports of Japanese products via Europe were established. In the heart of the city, there are famous Japanese bazaars and stores. Among the most important houses, the “Takinami” importer stands out. -- Since the end of the 21st century, the presence of Japanese in Argentina can be noted.
