Increased potato value chain efficiency in Great Lakes region

This project's goal is to create a well-connected and efficient seed and ware potato value chain in Rwanda's Great Lakes region.

In order to reduce efficiencies, lack of coordination and the weak linkage between the seed and ware potato value chain, farmers will be provided with improved agricultural practices, climate change adaptation and business development skills.

In addition, investments will be made through the seed and potato value chain, such as storage, logistics, energy and access to finance. As a result, 20,000 potato farmers will increase their productivity by using clean seeds.

Furthermore, the project will provide training, access to finance and create market opportunities by further developing the processing capacity.
