The Uruguayan Green Gold

Uruguay’s eucalyptus forestry sector operates under a well-established legislative framework that has attracted major international operators — UPM and Montes del Plata among them — creating one of South America’s most productive timber industries.

Investor-aligned fiscal structure

Forestry income subject to significant statutory exemptions under Uruguayan forestry law — a decisive advantage for foreign investors

Four distinct production models — from fixed leases to full timber harvest cycles at years 12 and 24

Direct partnership with UPM — one of the world’s largest eucalyptus producers, providing offtake certainty on every certified plantation
