Uruguay has acquired a solid position as a strategic transit point for international trade by offering significant customs, operating and geographical advantages. It is the gateway to Mercosur through its principal ports located at the mouth of the Parana-Paraguay-Uruguay Waterway.
As in recent years, a new export record was set at US$ 8.75 billion in 2012, increasing 9% with respect to the previous year. If we add goods exported through the free trade zones, this figure rises to US$ 9.83 billion.
Uruguayan exports recorded improved market diversification between 2001 and 2012, notwithstanding greater concentration at the product level.
