Logistics for Argentina's Yerba Mate exports
Argentine exporter of yerba mate beverages CBSé has contracted Dachser Argentina to manage export logistics for its yerba mate shipments to the Mexican market. Considered to be recession proof because of the beverage's loyal and growing fan-base around the globe, the global yerba mate market is expected to grow 4.5% over the next five years.
Its global market size is projected to reach USD 2.02 billion by 2026, up from USD 1.56 billion USD in 2020, according to a recent Yerba Mate market report.
Often referred to as the “South American super beverage,” it is typically prepared as a tea-like infusion. Interestingly, it doesn’t contain any actual tea leaves, but those of the Ilex paraguariensis plant.
According to the Argentine National Institute of Yerba Mate, the country has already exported over 23 million kg (50 million pounds) in 2020 (sh)
