The national government and the forestry company UPM have launched negotiations for installation of a cellulose plant, which will be the country's third and UPM's second in Uruguay.

The company announced in a press conference that talks had begun with authorities on the development of logistics infrastructure for the installation of a new cellulose processing plant in the Río Negro basin. The project involves a private investment of some USD 4 billion plus USD 1 billion in public investment to improve logistics infrastructure, for a total investment of close to 10% of Uruguayan GDP. The infrastructure improvements necessary will involve repair of highways, railways and conditioning of the Montevideo port.
