In Latin America, the evolution of the pandemic in Uruguay was milder than in its neighbouring countries, and the country did not have to interrupt its economic activities. As a result, Votorantim Cimentos maintained the regularity of its operations in the country and benefited from local market factors in the second quarter. On the other hand, in Bolivia, the company was forced to freeze operations for two months due to the pandemic, which had a direct impact on sales volume.
