When in 1898, Don Sixto J. Dutra began his business in the agro-farming areas, little did he imagine that more than a century later, his name would still be firmly linked to the best Uruguayans traditions in the areas of farming business.
At present, the farm lands of Uruguay can count on one of the major agents for agro-farming of the country. Escritorio Dutra is an organization which gives assistance in agricultural and farming business and advisory services. The manner in which we render our services is ensured by a century-long tradition.
Uruguay is ranked among the top countries in Latin America – and is very well placed worldwide – according to the principal rankings produced by well- established bodies which perform surveys related to political stability and democratic strength. These indicators show that Uruguay is a country with a strong democratic tradition, based on clear government policies and comprehensive economic freedom.
