Livestock farming is one of Uruguay\u2019s most representative productive activities and has played a fundamental role in the country\u2019s economic and social development. Favored by extensive natural grasslands, a temperate climate, and a long-standing agricultural tradition, Uruguay\u2019s livestock sector has evolved into a model internationally recognized for the quality of its products, high animal health standards, and the sustainability of its production systems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With more than 80% of its agricultural land devoted to livestock production<\/strong>, Uruguay offers exceptional natural conditions for raising cattle and sheep. The abundance of natural pastures, year-round water availability, and the low-intensity nature of its production systems support animal welfare and enable livestock farming to be based primarily on grazing\u2014one of the key distinguishing features of Uruguay\u2019s production model. Today, the country has a cattle herd of approximately 11.6 million head<\/strong>, reflecting the historical and economic importance of livestock farming within Uruguay\u2019s productive system.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ height=”80px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”50.88px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” min_height=”583.1px”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color_gradient_direction=”35deg” background_color_gradient_start=”#ff6a88″ background_color_gradient_end=”#ff99ac” custom_padding=”|30px||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texto” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Traceability is one of the key distinguishing features of Uruguay\u2019s livestock sector. Each animal can be individually identified and tracked throughout its entire production cycle, from birth to the final consumer. This system strengthens food safety, facilitates animal health controls, and provides a high level of transparency\u2014factors that are particularly valued in international markets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The country\u2019s strong animal health status also represents a significant competitive advantage. Strict official controls, ongoing epidemiological surveillance programs, and coordinated efforts between public and private institutions have helped establish Uruguay\u2019s reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality beef. Institutions such as the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP)<\/strong>, the National Agricultural Research Institute (INIA)<\/strong>, and the National Meat Institute (INAC)<\/strong> play a fundamental role in research, technological development, genetic improvement, and access to new markets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The combination of pasture-based production, traceability, animal welfare, and high sanitary standards has positioned Uruguayan beef among the world\u2019s most recognized for its quality, safety, and reliability. This is further strengthened by a growing emphasis on certifications related to sustainability, responsible production, and compliance with the environmental and commercial requirements of leading international markets.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”115deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”#a3bc4f 0%|#e9c428 100%” background_color_gradient_start=”#a3bc4f” background_color_gradient_end=”#e9c428″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”|||” custom_padding_phone=”|||” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/vieragro.com.uy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ganaderia.jpg” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-40px|40px|40px|-40px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px|0px|40px|0px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”|||” animation_style=”zoom” animation_direction=”right” animation_intensity_zoom=”6%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_horizontal=”13px” box_shadow_vertical=”42px” box_shadow_blur=”45px” box_shadow_spread=”-3px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.1)” always_center_on_mobile=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”50.88px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”115deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”#a3bc4f 0%|#e9c428 100%” background_color_gradient_start=”#a3bc4f” background_color_gradient_end=”#e9c428″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”|||” custom_padding_phone=”|||” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/vieragro.com.uy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ganaderia.jpg” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-40px|40px|40px|-40px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px|0px|40px|0px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”|||” animation_style=”zoom” animation_direction=”right” animation_intensity_zoom=”6%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_horizontal=”13px” box_shadow_vertical=”42px” box_shadow_blur=”45px” box_shadow_spread=”-3px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.1)” always_center_on_mobile=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ background_color_gradient_direction=”35deg” background_color_gradient_start=”#ff6a88″ background_color_gradient_end=”#ff99ac” custom_padding=”|30px||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texto” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”-186px|||||” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Sheep production is also an integral part of Uruguay\u2019s agricultural identity. In addition to meat production, the country has a long-standing wool tradition, internationally recognized for the quality of its fibers. The adoption of new technologies, genetic improvement, and the development of more efficient production systems continue to strengthen the sector\u2019s competitiveness and expand opportunities in specialized markets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beyond primary production, livestock farming is one of the main drivers of economic development in Uruguay\u2019s rural regions. The sector generates direct and indirect employment, supports an extensive agro-industrial value chain\u2014including meat processing plants, transport companies, veterinarians, input suppliers, and specialized service providers\u2014and contributes to the economic growth of numerous rural communities. Thanks to its combination of natural resources, technical expertise, innovation, animal health standards, and strong international market access, Uruguay\u2019s livestock sector continues to consolidate its position as one of the most competitive and strategic sectors of the national economy and a key pillar of agricultural investment in the country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While livestock farming represents one of the traditional activities that have shaped Uruguay\u2019s productive identity, forestry has become one of the sectors experiencing the greatest growth and transformation in recent decades. Driven by long-term policies, significant investment, and growing international demand for wood-based products, forestry has established itself as one of the country\u2019s key drivers of economic development, a topic we will explore in the next chapter.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Hero section” _builder_version=”4.16″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#a3bc4f 0%|#65a444 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#a3bc4f” background_color_gradient_end=”#65a444″ background_position=”top_center” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”10%||10%|” box_shadow_style=”preset6″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_cta title=”Forestry Uruguay” button_url=”https:\/\/vieragro.com.uy\/en\/invest-in-uruguay\/forestry-uruguay\/” button_text=”Next” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”Lato|900||on|||||” header_font_size=”48px” header_letter_spacing=”2px” header_line_height=”1.2em” body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_font_size=”20px” body_line_height=”1.8em” use_background_color=”off” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#e9c428″ button_border_width=”6px” button_border_color=”#e9c428″ button_border_radius=”5px” button_letter_spacing=”2px” button_font=”Lato|900||on|||||” max_width=”750px” module_alignment=”center” animation_style=”fold” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_text_shadow_style=”preset1″ header_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0.6em” header_text_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.24)” box_shadow_style_button=”preset3″ box_shadow_blur_button=”30px” box_shadow_spread_button=”8px” box_shadow_color_button=”rgba(250,127,40,0.15)” button_letter_spacing_hover=”2px” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”2px” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]<\/p>\n We provide you with information about forestry Uruguay<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Hero section” _builder_version=”4.16″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(68,68,68,0.95) 0%|rgba(34,34,34,0.95) 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(68,68,68,0.95)” background_color_gradient_end=”rgba(34,34,34,0.95)” background_image=”https:\/\/vieragro.com.uy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/wtc-pie.jpg” background_position=”top_center” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”5%||5%||true” background_color_gradient_stops_tablet=”rgba(68,68,68,0.95) 0%|rgba(34,34,34,0.95) 100%” background_color_gradient_stops_phone=”rgba(68,68,68,0.95) 0%|rgba(34,34,34,0.95) 100%” box_shadow_style=”preset6″ global_module=”1740″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ module_alignment=”center” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/vieragro.com.uy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/logo2.png” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ module_alignment=”right” custom_padding=”|40%||40%||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”32px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”40px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 1248 Dr. Luis Alberto de Herrera Ave, <\/p>\n\n\n
