The medium-term goal of UPM
Forestal Oriental is to provide the
pulp mill in Fray Bentos with 30%
of timber from these producers that
are associated with the company in-
dependently. Today the programme
includes more than 350 rural produc-
ers, both individuals, investment
funds or institutions such as the Uni-
versity Professionals Retirement and
Pension Fund, the Housing Fund and
the Rural Association of Soriano,
among others.
Our Fomento Programme gives
them a good opportunity to par-
ticipate in a growing activity and a
company that allows them to diver-
sify and increase their profitability.
It ensures the producer a sustainable
business base, the purchase of all
timber produced at predetermined
prices, the supply of genetic mate-
rial of high productive potential and
quality and technical advice.
Fomento Programme
The Fomento Programme was created with the aim of promoting
the integration of agricultural production, seeking to share almost
25 years of genetic research that the company has developed and
is continually developing with the Uruguayan rural producer.
