Source text - Spanish Resumen Ejecutivo
El objetivo de este informe es examinar las principales actividades desarrolladas en las Zonas Francas de Uruguay, haciendo foco en aquellas por donde circulan o se intercambian bienes, de forma de tener una estimación aproximada de su contribución a las exportaciones.
Primero, se relevan las zonas francas que hay en Uruguay, detallando sus principales actividades. Existen trece zonas francas en Uruguay, que desarrollan distintas actividades: algunas se centran en la comercialización de bienes y otras se dedican a la prestación de servicios.
Segundo, se examinan las exportaciones desde Uruguay hacia sus Zonas Francas, destinos que han cobrado gran relevancia, pasando de representar el 1% de las exportaciones en 2001 a representar el 9% en 2011. Se destacan en particular, las exportaciones hacia las Zonas Francas de Nueva Palmira y Fray Bentos, enclaves que han tenido un fuerte dinamismo en los últimos años, debido fundamentalmente al desarrollo agrícola de Uruguay.
Tercero, en base a la información estadística disponible, se examinan las reexportaciones de varias de las zonas francas, en particular: Zona Franca de Nueva Palmira destacándose la reexportaciones de productos agrícolas y pasta de celulosa, Zona Franca de Fray Bentos, enclave aduanero donde UPM desarrolla su actividad de producción de pasta de celulosa, Parque de las Ciencias, zona franca desde donde se reexportan productos farmacéuticos y Zona Franca de Colonia, en donde la empresa Pepsico desarrolla sus actividades. Se estima que las exportaciones totales de Uruguay incluyendo a las zonas francas fueron aproximadamente US$ 9.158 millones en 2011, llegando a los US$ 5.071 millones en el primer semestre de 2012.
Translation - English Executive Summary
The objective of this report is to review the main activities carried out in the Uruguayan Free Trade Zones, focusing on those activities regarding the movements and exchange of goods so as to have a rough estimate of their contribution to exports.
The first step is to survey all the existing free trade zones in Uruguay and specify their main activities. There are 13 free trade zones in Uruguay that carry out different activities: Some of them focus on the trade of goods while others focus on the provision of services.
The second step is to assess exports from Uruguay to their Free Trade Zones, destinations that have become extremely relevant, representing 1% of exports in 2001 and representing 9% in 2011. We can highlight exports to the Nueva Palmira and Fray Bentos Free Trade Zone, such enclaves had a strong dynamism over the last years, mainly due to the agricultural development in Uruguay.
Finally, and based on the statistical information available, the third step is to assess the re-exports of several Free Trade Zones, in particular: The Nueva Palmira Free Trade Zone where we can highlight the re-export of agricultural products and cellulose pulp, the Fray Bentos Free Zone, customs enclave where UPM develops its main activity of cellulose pulp production, Parque de las Ciencias (Science Park) Free Trade Zone from where pharmaceutical products are re-exported and the Colonia Free Trade Zone, where the company Pepsico carries out its activities. It is estimated that the total exports of Uruguay including Free Trade Zones were approximately US$ 9.16 billion in 2011, reaching US$ 5.07 billion in the first half of 2012.
