Our products

Products we know at the source.

Misiones produces most of the world's yerba mate, all of Argentina's commercial tea and, with Corrientes, the country's largest planted-forest and sawmill region. Our relationships with growers, mills and sawmills here go back decades, and the same verification standard applies to every product we trade.

Buyer mandates

When a buyer gives us a mandate, we go to the producer directly.

Part of our work is sourcing for qualified buyers in Asia. In those cases we approach producers with the buyer's letter of intent, the specification and the target volume already defined, and we ask for nothing until an NCNDA is signed by both sides. The producer deals with one counterpart, knows from the first message what is being bought, and keeps full control over price and terms.

Asia desk

A working channel to China.

Our access to China runs through bilateral chambers of commerce and the commercial representatives connected to them, which gives us a qualified route to industrial buyers and trading groups. We are building that network deliberately, starting with the products we know best. For a South American producer, this is a vetted path to Chinese demand; for a Chinese buyer, a counterpart on the ground at origin.

For producers

Buyer qualification, contractual protection and a single counterpart for the whole process, from first contact to execution.

For buyers

Verified product at origin, direct access to the producer under mandate, and independent inspection before any instrument is issued.

Where we are growing

Commodities from across South America, agricultural and forestry estates in Paraguay, and industrial projects in Misiones structured with Asian partners. Producers and buyers alike can open a conversation with us.

Long-term partnerships

We structure multi-year supply partnerships at origin.

Our priority is to develop industries and cooperatives in Misiones together with strategic partners: buyers and industrial groups that require a stable, multi-year source of raw material and are prepared to build it at origin. Mas & Sons contributes the producers, the land and the local knowledge; the partner contributes demand and capital.

How we work

One protocol for every counterparty.

Confidentiality

No contact, price or document is disclosed without a signed NCNDA. A producer is never exposed to a buyer until both parties are contractually protected.

Qualified counterparties

Buyers provide a letter of intent and proof of funds. Producers provide verifiable product and documentation. All parties complete KYC.

Standard execution

Incoterms 2020, bank-to-bank instruments and independent inspection at origin. No off-channel transactions.
