Mercado Libre logistics expansion in San Juan

Overview

Mercado Libre is expanding its logistics operations in the 9 de Julio department of San Juan, Argentina. The company is constructing a new distribution center located near National Route 20 and the San Juan airport to facilitate the movement of goods.

While the project is expected to generate significant local employment—with officials noting that approximately 90% of staff at other company centers are local hires—the expansion has caused concern among traditional merchants. Hermes Rodríguez, president of the San Juan Chamber of Commerce, stated that the rise of online sales represents a “significant challenge that requires businesses to adapt their strategies” amidst a broader technological transformation.
