Argentina fights mate glut withexport market push
Source : Financial Times1998 (December 8)
abstract : This itemdiscusses mate, the bitter herbal infusion that is Argentina’s national drink. Productionof the drink, which is made from the leaves of the mate plant, a type of holly, totalled300,000 tonnes in 1997, up 85% since 1991 when the industry was deregulated. Since the1980s, consumption of mate has also increased 65% to reach 7 kg per capita, with only theUruguayans consuming more. However, owing to over supply in the sector, producers arelooking to expand in the export market. In 1996, exports totalled 43,000 tonnes, up from17,000 tonnes in 1990, although most exports are still to neighbouring countries, such asBrazil, which produced 170,000 tonnes of the product itself in 1996.
