CBSé appoints Dachser Argentina to manage yerba mate exports
Logistics solutions keep yerba mate supply flowing worldwide as demand grows
As a recognized leader in the fast-growing yerba mate beverage category, CBSé turned to Dachser Argentina, a subsidiary of the premier global logistics solutions provider, Dachser, to manage their export logistics of its yerba mate shipment to the Mexican market as the global growth in demand for yerba mate continues.
Considered recession proof because of the beverage´s loyal and growing fanbase 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 $2.02 billion by 2026, up from $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 distinguished by its unique taste characteristics coupled with its impressive list of health benefit claims. Though typically prepared as a tea-like infusion, interestingly, it doesn’t contain any actual tea leaves, but those of the Ilex paraguariensis plant predominantly grown in Latin America. With its earthy and chocolatey taste profile, yerba mate has been known to provide a long-lasting, sustainable energy boost without the potential jittery after-effects of coffee.
