Vasily Bumacov, a former Minister of Agriculture and ex-Ambassador of Moldova to Japan, has initiated a venture to produce and sell black garlic in Moldova, targeting both local and international markets. Inspired by the health benefits and nutritional value of black garlic discovered during his tenure in Japan, Bumacov's business kicked off with a trial run at the Linella supermarket chain, using fermentation equipment imported from China and local garlic.
