Uruguay to Enhance Digitalization of Agriculture with The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Support

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) approved a $6.5 million loan to make Uruguay’s agricultural industry more competitive by digitalizing more services and activities offered by the country’s Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries. The program will place special emphasis on helping family farms and women in rural areas adopt digital tools, as well as on using emerging technologies to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.
