El guayabo del país es un promisorio frutal nativo, considerando las destacadas propiedades nutricionales de sus frutos. Su producción comercial se realiza principalmente a nivel internacional, siendo el mercado en Uruguay aún incipiente. Con el objetivo de impulsar la producción local, el Programa de Mejoramiento Genético de Guayabo del país (FAGRO-INIA) busca obtener selecciones con potencial comercial con calidad de fruto superiores.

El objetivo principal de estas colecciones es conocer a las distintas especies desde el punto de vista frutícola, con énfasis en adaptación, producción, calidad de las frutas y diversidad encontrada.

ABSTRACT. As part of a process of democratization and political renewal in Uruguay, the Government of Uruguay rehabilitated its agricultural research organization to create the National Institute for Agricultural Research (Spanish acronym INIA) in 1989. A public nongovernmental organization, INIA introduced a novel way of strengthening agricultural research capacity in the country by creating the Agricultural Technology Development Fund (Spanish acronym FPTA). The fund helps finance agricultural research that non-INIA researchers carry out outside INIA.

ABSTRACT. The objective of this research was to analyze the demand patterns of Hispanic households for meats in comparison with other ethnic groups using data from the 1998 Consumer Expenditure Survey. A system of demand equations of the LinQuad form were estimated for ten meat products using an incomplete system of censored equations. Hispanic households showed a clear preference for beef. Price, income, and household-size elasticities were estimated for each meat product by ethnic group. The demand for ground beef was the most income-inelastic product regardless of ethnicity.
