Resumen
Since we gave birth to the Native Andean potato industry in Ecuador in 2010, we have been
able to significantly multiply them and now export to 30 countries in 5 continents. This
has been the process of hard and collaborative work between development organizations
such as the International Potato Center (CIP), the public sector represented by National
Institute of Agricultural Research (INIAP) in Ecuador, farmers associations mostly
Agropapa in Ecuador, and the private sector represented by our company Inalproces.
This has clearly been an example where development organizations, the public and the
private sector have worked to achieve a shared common goal and in the process raised
income for low-income farmers.
