The article highlights the severe drought in Argentina, particularly affecting the yerba mate production in Colonia Liebig, northeastern Argentina. This region, along with Misiones, is crucial for yerba mate cultivation, being the country's leader in exports and the world's second-largest producer behind Brazil. The drought, the worst since 1944, and unusually high temperatures have led to the death of around 60% of the yerbal plantations' plants, causing significant losses and a potential crash in production, with an estimated 4,000 million pesos (around 35 million dollars) in damages. The drought not only impacts the production but also threatens jobs, as it affects the collection of seeds and the blending process, leading to a possible 30% decrease in Argentina's total yerba mate production. This situation has raised concerns about the potential increase in prices and the impact on consumers, who rely heavily on yerba mate in their daily life.
