Uruguay, located in southern South America, is regarded throughout the world as an ideal place for agricultural production.

The country's mild climate and smooth geography -ninety per cent of which is slightly undulated and covered with excellent green natural pastures irrigated by countless clear water streams- have made it a unique producer of the very best meats in the world.

With a very low population density, Uruguay is one of the countries with the lowest pollution rates in the world, allowing the livestock feeding system to remain free of contaminants. Besides, in a clear strategic approach, the use of hormone growth promoters in animal production has been forbidden for many years.

In this privileged environment, cattle and sheep of the best British meat breeds, developed over decades applying state-of-the-art genetic technology that is the pride of Uruguayan producers, graze freely in the open range. Under clear sky, they feed on nourishing natural pastures, generating one of the world's most outstanding natural meat production chains.

Based on these unique features, Frigorífico San Jacinto - Nirea S.A. has built a very saccessful industrial and commercial operation, securing for the company a most prominent place in the international market.
