Dato. 336,000 has changed hands, valued at $ 885:
The decline in the number of transactions in land purchases that had occurred in 2009-but-rising prices was reversed in 2010 that grew not only transactions but the value per hectare increased 13%. Last year 2,093 were implemented land purchases across the country, representing a 13.3% increase over the previous year, according to a technical work reported by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP). Through these operations, while more land was traded (4%) to total 336,000 hectares, each of the purchases involved on average a lower figure: 161 hectares for 175 hectares in the previous year.
A fact not less is that while the total area transacted was a slight increase over the previous year, still represents one of the lowest figures in the decade, similar to 2002 in which 365,000 hectares changed hands.
growth in the amount of land was also accompanied by a higher price. That is, per hectare in 2010 purchased paid U.S. $ 2,633 on average 13% more than last year when the land was worth U.S. $ 2,329. This made a total of 336,000 hectares by the mobilization of $ 885 million, 17.5% more than in 2009 (which totaled $ 753 million) but lower than what was traded in 2008 (U.S. $ 1,260 million) 2007 (U.S. $ 968 million) and 2006 (U.S. $ 972 million).
Although in total the number of transactions may not be the highest in recent years, a fact that the average land price has been rising steadily since 2003 and 2010 was eight times higher than it had in 2002 . Between 2,000 and last year sold 6.4 million hectares, according to MGAP data.
Under IDEA, the year the land was sold over 2006 when 3,245 transactions were recorded for 859,000 hectares with a total value of $ 972 million and per hectare of $ 1,132.
Despite the variation in the total amounts traded, which has maintained the upward trend is the average value per hectare in 2002 was worth $ 385 and in 2010 reached U.S. $ 2,633, this is 584% more. If one takes into account from 2000 to 2010 the average value per hectare was U.S. $ 1,053.
BUSINESS. As explained by real estate operators consulted by El Pais last year went to register the fact that several agricultural groups, the majority of Argentine origin, which are producing again expand its grain growing area, but the demand exceeded the supply of fields and this is a fact that has been repeated for several years.
other hand, the rise of agriculture that will cause new basins arming potential agricultural land to plant grains, but previously occupied by cattle, although years ago, also housed grain, soybeans and other crops.
agriculture became the main export of Uruguay and in the last agricultural survey of the farm surface IDEA grew 14%, but still dominate the leasing system.
operators stressed that foreign investments are productive and not carrying purely speculative, as one might think.
In the 2010/11 agricultural year was spent on agriculture for a total of 1,168,000 hectares, which marks the huge boom that keeps this area driven by prices.
An analysis by department, although in reality each semester of the year was uneven-Paysandu was the one who led the land sales over last year with the sale of 66,254 acres that producers reported agriculture U.S. $ 27.6 million. A Soriano followed this department which sold 63,580 acres for $ 57.1 million, reflecting the ability of the land department. In third place was peach with 56,785 hectares changed hands and for which paid $ 29.1 million. In fourth place was Black River, where 54,042 acres were sold for $ 36.4 million.

If shopping is comprised of both fields less than 500 hectares to more than 5,000 hectares. Limit
foreign purchases
The government continues with the idea of \u200b\u200blimiting the purchase of land to foreigners. First managed a project which slowed purchases within a certain radius near the border and even spoke to know on these farms the land, seeking to identify their owners to any medical event. That bill died in the previous legislature.
this year floated the idea and a group of pro-government senators are looking into this issue.
The president José Mujica said on more than one occasion that there were several countries that aimed to buy land in these latitudes to promote food production, but the news had no effect on the land market.
But the Uruguayan government is not the only one seeking to limit the land to foreigners, so does Brazil. The neighboring country was decided seven months ago to increase the limits and was attributed to an international setting where food shortages are common currency, stimulated the progress of foreigners on Brazilian soil.
