摘要
The production of yerba mate is one of the non-lumberman forest activities that compose the Brazilian agroforestry market. In Rio Grande do Sul, this segment is propelled by tradition of mate consumption. However, in recent years, it is observed that Rio Grande do Sul state has been losing significant share of the domestic market, mainly to the state of Parana. In this sense, this study aims to understand the dynamics of production and marketing of this product, from the analysis of the behavior of prices received by farmers of yerba mate in Rio Grande do Sul, prices direct to consumers of yerba mate as well as statistical data related to production of yerba mate. It is evident that the econometric model conducted to estimate the value of yerba mate, while indicating the existence of positive linear association between the dependent and independent variables, is considered statistically frail. Moreover, about 80% of the variations in the price of the kilogram of yerba mate in retail Porto Alegre are explained by variations in the price of the bushel of yerba mate paid to Rio Grande do Sul farmers. Thus, is reiterated the need for additional analyzes to identify the factors that have an influence on the market for yerba mate in the context of expansion of national and international demand.
