Union Agriculture Group (UAG) is the largest agricultural company operating in Uruguay with more than 100 farms across over 180,000 hectares, nearly 1% of Uruguay’s total land mass, and 85,000 heads of cattle. It was founded in 2008 as a blueberry farming business, but swiftly diversified its agricultural operations into rice, soya bean and wheat production, as well as sheep and cattle raising. Through its subsidiaries, UAG is a fully integrated exporter of high quality agricultural goods with operations across the entire agricultural value chain, from production, trading and logistics to processing and export facilities. In May 2013, UAG listed on the (Montevideo Stock Exchange (BVM) ), the first IPO in Uruguay since 2007. To date, it is the largest company to list on the exchange and, as of 11 June 2014, accounted for approximately 70 per cent of the exchange’s market capitalisation. In February 2014, UAG acquired the Uruguayan assets of Argentine group El Tejar, some 33,000 hectares of farmland, making UAG one of Uruguay’s top landowners and Latin America’s biggest agribusinesses. UAG owns a minority stake in Casarone, the second largest rice exporter in Uruguay. It operates processing mills in three locations in the country with a combined annual capacity of 200,000 tonnes. Granosur is a wholly owned subsidiary of UAG, focused on physical grain trading, storage and logistics. It has more than 81,000 tonnes of grain storage capacity across five different locations in Uruguay. On 18 June 2015, UAG announced that it would issue shares for US$74 million, allowing the company to expand its capital base.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.elpais.com.uy/economia/finanzas/uag-emitira-acciones-us-millones.html )〕 Oscar Costa was appointed as CEO of UAG in June 2015.
