MEXICO CITY， Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Many more Latin Americans are plugged into the Internet than ever before， according to a study released this week by a United Nations agency.


Between 2010 and 2015， the percentage of Latin American households connected to the Internet nearly doubled， to 43.4 percent， the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) reported earlier this week.


That matters immensely to the digitalization of the economy of Latin America， a region that is still struggling to develop， and that can no longer rely on its abundance of natural resources to drive growth， especially at a time when the price of raw materials on the international market is notably low.


"We cannot wait for commodities prices to rise again，" the director of ECLAC's Production， Productivity and Management Division， Mario Cimoli， told a regional technology conference held in San Jose， Costa Rica on Monday and Tuesday.


"It is necessary for countries to increase their productivity， and that can only be achieved by digitalizing the economy and productive business activities，" added Cimoli.


As one of Latin America's leading trade partners， China has been helping the region do just that through both private- and public-sector ventures.


China's leader in telecommunications， Huawei， has been providing solutions to regional telecom services for 18 years， and also offers training and scholarships to Latin America's next generation of techies.


E-commerce giant Alibaba has expanded to the region， making life easier for connected consumers， and web behemoth Baidu is launching a support and mentoring scheme for Brazilian tech startups as it continues to drive its expansion strategy in the country.


Less than a month ago， China's ambassador to Ecuador， Wang Yulin， was on hand to help inaugurate the country's first fiber optics factory， built in the coastal province of Guayas with Chinese cooperation.


The new plant is part of Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa's push to expand Internet access by laying down more fiber optic cables. His government has already connected 32.8 percent of all households by laying down 66，000 kilometers of cables.


The plant， named Latamfiberhome， is the result of a joint venture by Ecuador's Holding Telconet and China's Fiberhome Technologies.


"With the infrastructure ready， we only need to begin using the plan to set up the brilliant future which awaits us，" said Holding Telconet's Executive President Tomislav Topic.


"Starting from today， we will be able to export fiber-optic cables made in Ecuador， with Ecuadorian talent and manpower as well as Chinese technology，" said Ecuador's Vice President Jorge Glas.


The plant is projected to manufacture 1 million kilometers of fiber-optic cable a year once it is fully operational in 2019.


Ecuador， which currently imports cables worth around 15 million U.S. dollars a year， estimates that it will export cables worth 20 million dollars a year. This joint venture will provide the telecommunications services and high technology to be needed by Latin America.


Baidu， China's web giant， "is launching a support and mentoring scheme for Brazilian tech startups ... to identify salable ventures in the country，" Brazil-based technology reporter Angelica Mari wrote Monday in ZDNet.


Through the program， Baidu aimed to give startups a boost with its "experience， traffic， and connections within Brazil and internationally，" wrote Mari.


What's in it for Baidu? A "10 percent stake in the capital of the companies selected in the program，" she said.
