The new mill would have capacity to produce about 2 million tonnes of eucalyptus pulp annually.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A year ago UPM and the government of Uruguay signed an investment agreement which outlines the local prerequisites for a potential pulp mill. The agreement details the roles, commitments and timeline for both parties as well as the relevant items to be agreed prior to the final investment decision. Currently UPM is carrying out technical studies and applying for the necessary permits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>A pulp mill investment of this scale requires efficient logistics to enable secure wood supply and pulp deliveries from the inland mill to the port of Montevideo. This will require the construction of a modern railway to the port and a modern pulp terminal as well as development of the road network<\/em>,\u201d says Petri Hakanen, Senior Vice President of the UPM Uruguay Development Project.<\/p>\n<p>The new railway would provide transport opportunities not only for forestry but also for other businesses like grain and wooden products, while also increasing Uruguay\u2019s export competitiveness worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The new pulp mill would have various positive impacts on Uruguay, providing the community with jobs, training and improved infrastructure. The mill\u2019s location is in the least developed area of the country, potentially providing a major spur for rapid regional development similar to the earlier example of Fray Bentos.<\/p>\n<p>The new pulp mill is estimated to increase GDP by 2%. It would boost the local economy and fuel the growth of hundreds of small and medium sized companies throughout the entire value chain. It would also generate a significant number of permanent jobs in industry, plantations, harvesting, port operations and related services.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPM plans to invest Euro 2 billion in a new mill to be located near the city of Paso de los Toros in Uruguay.
