SARANDÍ DEL YÍ NURSERY: CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY AND STABLE QUALITY EMPLOYMENT IN THE INTERIOR
Our third nursery, located in Sarandí del Yí, Durazno, began to produce its first seedlings at the end of 2022, which was another big milestone for our team that has been working intensively since 2020. Operating teams are made up of 120 locals who work on a permanent basis. Around 60% are female personnel who have also participated in various training programmes promoted within the community. This nursery, with state-of-the art technology, has an annual
yield of 10 million Eucalyptus seedlings and stands out for its metallic structure greenhouses with smart temperature, humidity, fertilisation and irrigation control, as well as a biomass-based heating system. In addition, it has mobile aluminium countertops to support the trays that hold the plants and make it easier for them to be transported internally from different nurseries, ensuring correct ergonomics for all workers.
