Uruguay is once again positioning itself as a reliable supplier of food and beverages at APAS Show 2026, the largest trade fair in the sector in Latin America, taking place May 18–21 in São Paulo, Brazil.

The agro-industrial sector accounts for 80% of the country’s exported goods, and food products make up 57% of total exports.

The country has built a solid international reputation thanks to its strict health controls, the incorporation of technology into production processes, and traceability systems covering sectors such as meat, wine, and citrus fruits. Additionally, Uruguay stands out for its institutional stability, its renewable energy mix, and its sustainability-oriented policies.

Through this participation, Uruguay seeks to consolidate its position as a strategic partner for the supply of quality food in the region and to strengthen the presence of its companies in one of the most important markets for Uruguayan exports.
