Uruguay has a solid agro-industrial and food sector — meat, dairy, rice, soy and wool — as well as a growing logistics base with the port of Montevideo as a regional hub. Demand for conveyor belts is concentrated in the food industry (meatpacking plants, dairy plants, rice processors), quarries, cement plants and distribution centres.
