The Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute (TARI) Kibaha has officially released two new sweet potato varieties which are suitable for mid altitude and warm semi-arid agro ecology.
By using the two new sweet potato varieties and adopting new cultivation methods from Japan, farmers will be able to produce sweet potatoes with the higher market value. Sweet potatoes' scarification technology will also add value for processors. These activities are ultimately expected to increase and stabilize farmers' income.
