The creation of INAC introduced a fundamental change in the meat sector of Uruguay.
The Institution has been successfully operating ever since its creation thanks to the joint efforts and work of all the links in the meat chain, thus strengthening a sector that has always been essential for the country
According to Law 15,605, INAC's role is to suggest and advice the Executive Power on the National Meat Policy, as well as to execute said policy, established by the Executive Power. Coordination with the latter is done through the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries of Uruguay.
This means the Institute has a wide scope of action given that it must monitor performance for several species -beef, sheep, pigs, and poultry- and through various links of the meat chain, basically concerning processing, and trading both in the domestic market and abroad.
