La caída del precio del mate ahoga a los productores argentinos

Argentina is the world's leading producer and exporter of yerba mate, but it is facing a serious crisis. Some 50,000 families who cultivate yerba mate leaves say they are selling below cost. The reason is the abrupt deregulation of the market, which has led to concentration in the hands of a few large companies and a 50% drop in the price paid to them by the processing industry.
