The Rwandan government and farmers are in discussions over the possibility of setting up a cold storage facility for Irish potatoes. The facility would help deal with price fluctuations that expose producers to losses.
However, the operation and funding model for the storage facility is yet to be finalised. But, officials from the Ministry of Trade and Industry say farmers’ co-operatives, which recently took over the management of collection centres, will be the ones contributing towards setting up the facility.
