Uruguay ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Uruguay has a free market economy characterized by an export-oriented agricultural sector, a well-educated work force, and high levels of social spending. Following financial difficulties in the late 1990s and early 2000s, economic growth for Uruguay averaged 8% annually during the period 2004-08. The 2008-09 global financial crisis put a brake on Uruguay's vigorous growth, which decelerated to 2.6% in 2009. Nevertheless, the country managed to avoid a recession and keep positive growth rates, mainly through higher public expenditure and investment, and GDP growth reached 8.9% in 2010 but slowed in 2012-13, the result of a renewed slowdown in the global economy and in Uruguay's main trade partners and Common Market of the South (Mercosur) counterparts, Argentina and Brazil. Uruguay has sought to expand trade within Mercosur and with non-Mercosur members. Uruguay's total merchandise trade with Mercosur since 2006 has increased by nearly 70% to more than $5 billion while its total trade with the world has almost doubled to roughly $23 billion in 2013.

History

 

Central Lanera Uruguay was founded in 1967 with the aim of marketing wool producers  as a boost of Rural Cooperatives Union of Flores and El Fogon de Sarandi del Yi with the support of the Uruguayan Cooperative Center.

 

Press Release:

Central Lanera launched advances for 2013/14 harvest

Uruguayan Central Lanera decided to postpone the closure of the 2012/13 harvest wool in a complicated product marketing, both domestic and international market, still shaken by the European crisis year.

Is that several countries of the old continent form part of the range of markets that has Uruguay to place the fabric, but the economic crisis, China also affects buying wool with little processing in Uruguay and sells you some finished products.

Price levels achieved in the local market and abroad, are lower than those of the two previous harvests, where maximum prices for the last 20 years were obtained.

At the local level, it is estimated that 30% of the harvest still be in the hands of producers waiting for better prices to sell, which speaks of the difficulties of it.

According to the CLU, the harvest was characterized by a decline in prices in the international market of around 15% on average, compared to the previous harvest, where the highs were reached.

Business Overview:

Companies in this industry operate mills that produce textiles and textile products from natural and synthetic materials

Demand is driven by the domestic apparel industry and consumer demand for home furnishings like carpets, furniture, and curtains. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations. Large companies have economies of scale in production for high-volume items.

 

Major products are yarns and threads, fabrics, carpets, and curtains. The industry produces yarns and threads out of natural (wool and cotton) and synthetic (plastics) materials. Yarns and thread are used to produce fabrics that are woven or knit, finish fabrics by dyeing or coating them, and make fabrics into simple finished consumer products like rugs, carpets, curtains, linens, and textile bags.
