Description

Poor-quality seed considerably limits potato yields in Kenya. Smallholders there find it difficult to access clean certified seed. The Syngenta Foundation helped the large Kisima Farm Company to grow high-quality seed for neighboring farmers. Such partnerships take several years to produce results. Kisima now runs a profitable potato seed business. Other farms are beginning to follow.
