Abstract. Uruguay is the most export-oriented rice producing country in the world. The annual production rounds 1.4 million metric tons (TMT), more than 96% of which is exported globally. This article shows the results of the cost-benefit analysis performed on different technology alternatives defined for six different locations in the East of Uruguay, which is the in the traditional rice-producing region. Uruguay plants annually about 170 thousand hectares of rice. Sixty-percent of this area is located in the East part of the country.

Abstract. Global population is expected to reach 9.7 billionon 2050(UN). This will require increasing food production by approximately 70%. Therefore, the performance of agricultural production systems and processes should be improved. The growing food demand anticipated for 2050 is expected to increase the impact of agricultural production on the environment (Davis et al., 2016).
