Canoinhas, Administrative municipality in Santa Catarina, Brazil

Canoinhas extends across 1,143 square kilometers of terrain at an elevation of 839 meters in the northern plateau of Santa Catarina state.

The settlement grew from a stopping point for immigrants from Parana who were searching for Erva Mate plants during the regional agricultural expansion.

The municipality maintains international connections through its sister city relationship with Sterling, fostering exchanges between Brazilian and American communities.

The local economy depends on agricultural production and logging operations, with numerous facilities processing Erva Mate for regional distribution.

Canoinhas holds the designation as the global center for Erva Mate production, where the Ilex Paraguariensis plant grows abundantly for chimarrao preparation.
