Exports from the forest complex accounted for 24% of total exports of goods
According to Uruguay’s promotion agency, Uruguay XXI, in 2018 forestry products totaled USD 1,660 million in exports, 25% higher than in 2017, and it was Uruguay's main export product.

“It is located in a climatic zone similar to that of southern Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and central areas of Argentina and Chile, with climate and soil conditions that ensure very good levels of international competitiveness”, Uruguay XXI said in a statement. “There are important opportunities for the installation of industries that achieve a greater addition of value to the wood. The great offer of pine wood, coming from managed and certified plantations, is a great attraction for the installation of first and second mechanical transformation companies. The annual availability of this wood exceeds 3 million cubic meters per year, far surpassing the industrial capacity of the country”, it added.

In this sense, Uruguay is also working on the promotion and development of wood construction, which generates space for new companies that aim to produce inputs for this activity.
