The potato is increasingly becoming one of East Africa’s food security crop — with Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia producing about five million tonnes between themselves.
With more attention being given to potato farming a new book was released in Nairobi on the best way to grow the crop. The book is a collaboration between the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands Deputy Head of mission-Head of Trade and development, Joris van Bommel and Kenya’s Ministry of Agriculture PS Hamadi Iddi Boga.
