Uruguay's export products, one partner on the ground.
Kunz Sourcing is one counterpart for several Uruguayan product areas. Today: wool and natural fibres for the textile industry, and beef for European importers. Each area has its own specifications, documents and supply chain, and the same sourcing process behind it.
Wool & natural fibres
Combed tops and scoured wool, 17–30 micron, produced to order at an established Uruguayan combing mill and shipped as full container loads with a certificate for every lot.
- Wool tops
- Scoured wool
- 17–30 µm
- FOB Montevideo
Beef
Pasture-raised Uruguayan beef for European importers, wholesalers and processors: premium cuts, processing cuts and industrial beef, chilled or frozen, supplied through EU-approved export plants.
- Premium cuts
- Processing cuts
- Reefer FCL
- EU-approved plants
Further agricultural raw materials, on request. Uruguay produces more than wool and beef. If your requirement falls outside these two areas, we check supplier availability, documentation and export conditions before we say yes.
