Farmers encouraged to grow orange fleshed sweet potatoes

The orange fleshed sweet potato is gaining popularity among farmers in Western Kenya as the number of farmers growing it continues to rise. The International Potato Centre is targeting to reach 35,000 farmers in Kisumu, Siaya and Homa Bay. Maureen Aoko is among the farmers in Siaya County who has taken interest in the orange fleshed sweet potato. She started growing them in 2017, and now she is a vine multiplier, growing seeds for farmers who want to take up orange fleshed sweet potato farming. Follow @ntvkenya on Twitter.
