Tanzania: Sweet potato prices drop as supply grows
Kariakoo Market Corporation planning and statistical officer Henry Rwejuna attributes the slowdown to increased supplies, following bumper harvests in parts of Dar es Salaam as well as the Coast and Morogoro regions. "There is a large supply of the sweet potatoes in the market," he said.
According to allafrica.com, he also said that after end of cassava harvests in December last year, farmers have shifted to growing sweet potatoes in Kilosa and Dumila in Morogoro, using irrigation methods.
