Special Report - Uruguay: Mujica’s unfinished agenda (ISSN 17414474)
OVERLAND TRANSPORT - Trying to redress years of neglecting rail and roads
In early 2013 Mujica was warning that Uruguay could fail to get the best out of promising soya and maize harvests because of ‘a crisis in road, port, and general logistics infrastructure’.
