Yerba mate: the INYM stops setting the price

What changed and who it applies to
What changed
Decreto 812/2025 replaces art. 8 and repeals arts. 9 and 11 to 19 of Decreto 1240/2002 (which regulates Ley 25.564 of the INYM). The new art. 8 prohibits the INYM from issuing rules or establishing interventions that cause distortions in market prices, generate entry barriers, impede free private initiative and/or interfere in the free interaction of yerba mate supply and demand. This eliminates the legal basis for INYM's reference-price/award setting, which is left focused on quality checks. The INYM has 30 days to adapt its internal rules. The agency is NOT eliminated: it keeps its oversight and quality-control functions. verif Nov 17, 2025 ↗
In force
11/19/2025 (the day after its publication in the Official Gazette of 11/18/2025). The INYM has 30 days from entry into force to adapt its internal rules; the concrete execution was set out in INYM Resoluciones 2/2026 (January 2026) and 20/2026 (March 2026), not opened in a primary source. verif Nov 19, 2025 ↗
Are you in or out?
The entire yerba chain: producers, drying facilities, mills and marketers of yerba mate (concentrated in Misiones and northeastern Corrientes). The INYM loses the power to set reference/award prices between the raw material (green leaf) and industry; prices come to be governed by free supply and demand. The agency is limited to quality checks. verif Nov 17, 2025 ↗

Our reading
The State stops setting the price of yerba: the INYM can no longer arbitrate between producer and industry and the market defines the value by supply and demand (rule R4, deregulation). Less intervention and fewer entry barriers open competition across the whole chain. To watch without assuming bad faith: the distributive tug-of-war with the small Misiones producer and the sector's judicial challenges (the yerba sector already obtained injunctions in Misiones against DNU 70/2023, a precedent of provincial litigation on this same matter). thesis
