HAMAMATSU — A boil-in-the-bag version of the vegetarian curry developed for Indian employees of Suzuki Motor Corp. in Hamamatsu soon will hit store shelves.
Suzuki, which employs many people from India, jointly developed authentic Indian vegetable curry for the company cafeteria with Torizen, a local company which operates restaurants and wedding halls in Hamamatsu. The curry has won favor among Indian employees who said it tastes like the cooking in their home country. Therefore, Suzuki decided to produce and sell boil-in-the-bag versions.
Four different varieties of curry will go on sale, which are made with beans and other vegetables to suit the demands of people from India, where there are many vegetarians. One of the Suzuki curry varieties — brown chickpea masala curry — was given as a gift to guests at the memorial gathering for Osamu Suzuki, the former Suzuki chairman who passed away in December.
The packages for the curry soon to go on sale will be adorned with illustrations of Suzuki vehicles, such as a Jimny four-wheel-drive car and a motorbike.
'Osamu Suzuki would often say India was his second home country. I hope many people will appreciate the authentic taste [of our Indian curry],' said a Suzuki employee.

Bangladesh clothes sector hit by trade barriers, internal turmoil
DHAKA -- Double-digit growth in Bangladesh's vital garments sector has put an unexpected gloss on an industry battling U.S. tariffs, Indian trade restrictions and continued domestic political upheaval -- a perfect storm of internal and external challenges that threatens to substantially crimp that expansion. The latest trade blow to the ready-made garments (RMG) sector, which accounts for about 80% of the country's exports and provides employment to millions, came on May 17 when India imposed restrictions on the import of certain goods, including RMGs, at land ports. That move, made in response to a Bangladeshi ban on yarn imports through the same ports, affects approximately 42% of Bangladeshi exports to India and requires the slower and more expensive use of seaports.
