Economic assistance program of Uruguay's Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries for 306 producers affected by the July 18, 2026 storm in Salto and localized areas of Paysandú, Cerro Largo and Artigas. The intervention includes an initial unrestricted non-repayable transfer of up to USD 12,000 per producer and a second complementary non-repayable assistance stage of up to USD 40,000 per production unit for infrastructure reconstruction. The second stage requires investment documentation and insurance coverage and includes a microfinance facility to help producers begin reconstruction work.

Observations

Original amount: UYU 178,499,076. Exchange rate: 40.143 Uruguayan pesos per USD, the official interbank rate for July 21, 2026 published by the General Tax Directorate using Central Bank of Uruguay data. Method: UYU 178,499,076 / 40.143 = USD 4,446,580.38. The analyzed publication states that the Farm Emergency was declared on July 21, 2026, while another official publication reports that JUNAGRA adopted the decision on July 20, 2026; the final administrative date must therefore be verified. The first stage was being implemented as of October 16, 2026, and the second stage was expected to begin in November 2026. No completion date is reported. The resolution governing the payment order is not identified by number or exact title.
