The cultivation of yerba mate is more than just a process, it’s an artisanal tradition. Our farmers employ organic cultivation methods, allowing the yerba mate to flourish naturally. The yerba mate grows in a regenerative agroforestry system, featuring three layers of rainforest canopy and supporting at least eight different species of biodiversity. This approach not only enhances the quality of the yerba mate but also nurtures the rich ecosystem in which it thrives.
For many of our farmers, the harvest of yerba mate is their primary source of income, providing them with the means to support their families and communities.
Givaudan actively invests in local projects that improve working conditions and foster social development. Initiatives include providing essential self-protection equipment for farmers and collectors, establishing sanitary and water treatment facilities, and enhancing living conditions for the families.
Through our commitment to organic and Fair for Life certifications, we ensure that our yerba mate is not only good for you but also good for the planet and the people who cultivate it. Together, we are creating a sustainable future, one cup of yerba mate at a time.
