1767 - The expulsion of the Jesuits from the Spanish colonies in 1767 ended the cultivation of yerba maté on the mission plantations. When they were expelled from all Spanish dominions their missions on the Parana-Paraguay were abandoned. This caused huge changes in yerba maté production, as the missions were transferred into royal and private hands. Massive exploitation and slavery of the local Guarani population proceeded.
