Strengthening Agribusiness Ties: China’s Growing Partnership with Uruguay in Latin America

AgriBusiness Global Staff By AgriBusiness Global Staff|18 February 2025

In a recent issue of AgriBusiness Global DIRECT, Nicolas Potrie, Director of Tafirel, explores the evolving economic relationship between China and Uruguay, particularly in the agricultural and trade sectors.

Over the past two decades, Potrie says, China has become one of Uruguay’s primary trading partners, with significant growth in imports and exports. The partnership is further strengthened through institutional agreements, such as those signed by the China Crop Protection Industry Association (CCPIA), which promote safety, traceability, and innovation in agricultural inputs.
