What is the INYM?
The INYM (National Institute of Yerba Mate) is a non-state organization whose objectives are to promote, encourage and strengthen the development of the production, processing, industrialization, marketing and consumption of yerba mate.
We work together with all the links of the yerba mate sector, from cultivation to commercialization, valuing tradition and leading innovation.
The National Institute of Yerba Mate began to take shape in 2001 , in the midst of a deep crisis that affected the primary sector of yerba mate after the dissolution of the Regulatory Commission of Yerba Mate (CRYM) and the National Consignment Market of Yerba Mate. the Yerba Mate Canchada.
This scenario led to a great mobilization, known as “el tractorazo”, which brought together producers, leaders of the cooperative sector and rural workers for several days in the Plaza 9 de Julio, in the city of Posadas, capital of the province of Misiones, and that triggered the support of the provincial government and the national authorities in the search for palliatives.
The response to this claim led by the producers finally arrived on February 21, 2002, with the sanction by the Congress of the Nation of Law 25,564 that created the National Institute of Yerba Mate.
