There is a misconception that if an industry grows in size, the chances of automation and big corporation involvement would ultimately ruin the goals of small farmer sustainability. At Alovitox, we are committed to making sure that doesn’t happen. It’s not all our doing, and we can’t take credit for it all, but the majority of our Yacon root is grown on very steep and hard to reach plateaus, and that makes it very difficult for any machinery to reach or transport the yacon from the dispersed patches of harvest.
