No results found.The sub-regional workshop on improving farmers’ access to quality seed potato was organized as part of the project Strengthening linkages between small actors and buyers in the roots and tubers sector in Africa, an EU-funded project being implemented by FAO in seven countries. The workshop brought together actors in the seed potato value chain from Uganda and Rwanda as well as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi and Kenya. The workshop was organized in response to the lack of access to quality seed potato, which is a major bottleneck in the development of the Irish potato sector in the region. The regular cross border trade in both ware and seed potatoes in East Africa necessitates a regional approach for the development of effective seed potato systems. -
