The founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma, made a three-day private visit to the Solís Meatpacking Plant in Lavalleja, Uruguay, according to business sources confirmed by El Observador. Although he did not engage with national authorities, a commercial secretary from the Chinese embassy in Uruguay reportedly accompanied the billionaire. Blasina & Asociados first reported Ma’s visit and speculated that he came to “talk business.”
While representatives from the Uruguayan meat sector expressed surprise over Ma’s visit, they noted that several Chinese business groups have visited the country in recent years to explore investment opportunities. The Solis Meatpacking Plant, which Ma visited, is authorized to export to the United States, the European Union, Japan, Israel, and Russia, and has several Chinese companies among its clients, according to the National Meat Institute (INAC).
