ABSTRACT: Current investigation deals with the motives underlying the fact that the yerba-mate plant in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, passed from a key economical product to a non-relevant one within the economical perspective of the state. Current economic situation of yerba mate is investigated and the corelationships between yerba-mate production in Mato Grosso do Sul and in other Brazilian states and in other countries are assessed, with future perspectives. Further, the reasons why yerba mate is currently less important for the state´s economy are investigated. Loss of importance was due to competition with other producing regions and with other cash crops within a competitive market economy. Results show that the yerba mate produced in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul is less competitive and its production tends to be negative.Downloads
