Its strategic location, trade agreements with the US and other countries, political and economic stability, and skilled workforce have made the country a preferred manufacturing and regional distribution centre for these markets.
We have developed an integrated maritime, industrial and logistics hub through the expansion of Caucedo Port, the largest in the country, alongside its economic zones and logistics services. This unique ecosystem, combined with the fiscal and non-fiscal incentives available to companies operating in the economic zones, provides a competitive and favourable environment for investment and trade".
