Forestry Farms
in Uruguay
The Forestry sector in Uruguay: Uruguay has the world’s fastest rate of growth of eucalyptus, for paper pulp. The industry was jump-started by a promotion law passed 25 years ago, and since then, it has grown exponentially. Finland’s UPM and Sweden’s Stora Enso recently installed the world’s two largest -and cleanest- pulp mills in western Uruguay. In addition, the country enjoys the highest ratio of FSC certification in the world: 80% of its forests are certified.
