WHY URUGUAY?<br />
5 th LARGEST BEEF EXPORTER IN THE WORLD<br />
- 75% of beef production is exported.<br />
- Main beef breeds: Angus and Hereford.<br />
- Politically and economically stable.<br />
- Positive attitude to beef production investment.<br />
POSITIVE LIVESTOCK HEALTH STATUS<br />
- No use of growth hormones (banned) or antibiotics.<br />

- No cases of E. Coli 0157 : H7.<br />
- FMD free, with vaccination.<br />
- BSE, Uruguay is one of only 11 countries recognised with negligible risk.
WHY URUGUAY?<br />
ONE BIG FARM<br />
- 83% native pasture / free range<br />
- Breeds: Angus and Hereford<br />
- Climate - temperate<br />
- Cattle stock: 11.6 million head<br />
- Cattle farm’s area is 87% of total country’s area<br />
- Cattle/inhabitant: 3.4 (highest in the world).<br />
SMALL AND GREEN<br />

WHY URUGUAY?<br />
INAC: THE NATIONAL MEAT INSTITUTE<br />
MISSION<br />
- Collectively developing in order to<br />
create and add value to the meat<br />
supply chain.<br />
URUGUAYAN SUPPLY CHAIN<br />
CONFIDENCE<br />
- INAC promotes, regulates, co-ordinates<br />
the production, marketing and transport<br />
of beef and sheep meat and meat<br />
products.<br />
- Funded by levies on exports and<br />
domestic trade.
WHY URUGUAY?<br />
100% TRACEABLE<br />
Real time system from farm to table.<br />
- Mandatory RFID for 100% of the animals in<br />
the national herd.<br />
- National database controls every live cattle<br />
movement.<br />
- INAC “Black Boxes” in every slaughter plant<br />
complete the traceability data collection.
WHY URUGUAY?<br />
INDUSTRY<br />
UPDATE<br />
Meat production is declining and the demand from an<br />
increasing population is rising, causing protein shortages.<br />
- Higher feed prices fueling further livestock and raw material<br />
prices increases.<br />
- World meat prices continuing to rise.<br />
- Pork and poultry productions increases (shorter production<br />
cycles).<br />
Little disparity in global protein costs - an emerging<br />
market.<br />
- Increased consumption from emerging markets, ASIA, Africa<br />
and South America.<br />
Retailer and foodservice providers partnering at<br />
source.<br />
- Central procurement teams, securing raw material.<br />
e.g. ASDA/ Greene King/ TGI Fridays/ Whitbread established<br />
partnerships in the UK, Loblaws and Chipotle in N. America.<br />
China is the largest and most valuable export<br />
destination for Uruguayan beef and by-products.<br />
Brazil has been increasing beef exports.<br />
- Lower domestic consumption.<br />
- Currency devaluation.<br />
Australian beef and veal production is now expected<br />
to be 15% down from 2015-2016.
WHY URUGUAY?<br />
CERTIFIED<br />
GRASS FED<br />
BEEF<br />
Cows are ruminants, superbly adapted to convert<br />
grass into meat or milk.<br />
- Cattle were never meant to consume corn.<br />
- Commercially driven decisions.<br />
Research is proving that the health concerns,<br />
long associated with eating beef, result not from<br />
eating beef, but rather from eating corn-fed<br />
beef.<br />
Cattle on pasture have Ph neutral (Ph of 7)<br />
stomachs and high in conjugated linolec acid<br />
(CLA).<br />
- CLA is an anti carcinogen, anti-diabetic anti antherosclerosis<br />
(heart disease).<br />
Cattle fed or raised on pasture have the correct<br />
levels of Omega 3 and 6.<br />
- Omega 3 is lost on grain fed production systems.<br />
Grass fed beef is becoming more popular due to<br />
greater public awareness<br />
- You are what you eat.
WHY URUGUAY?<br />
FABULOUS GRASSES - ALL GRASS FED, REARED AND FINISHED<br />
