Japan's farm, fishery product exports hit record high in 2014
Japan's farms
Tokyo - QNA
Japan's exports of agricultural, forestry and marine products in 2014 jumped 11.1 percent from the previous year, hitting a record high of 611.7 billion yen (5.16 billion US dollars), government data showed Tuesday.
The rise reflects the popularity of Japanese cuisine overseas, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said, adding the yen's depreciation against the US dollar also helped Japanese exports to become more attractive, Kyodo news agency reported.
Exports to China, North America and the European Union increased sharply, with apples, beef, green tea and pearls among popular products.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
