A major objective of breeding at the Sweetpotato Support Platform for West Africa in Ghana, is the development of non-sweet cultivars suitable for use as staple foods, or in fried and other processed products. This priority was set during stakeholder consultations when establishing the program, a...

Developing and deploying non- and low-sweet sweetpotato cultivars for expanding markets.
Sweetpotato is grown during the rainyand during the dry season in Mozambique (the rainy season is very unstable). In total 58 clones were evaluated across three years during the dry season and with two treatments (with and without irrigation during the initial growing stages). Three check clones ...

Genotype x environment interactions for a diverse set of sweetpotato clones evaluation across drought prone environment of Mozambique.
Sweetpotato is a major staple and co-staple root crop for millions of the rural people in Africa. Recently, it has been demonstrated to be of human health importance by combating vitamin A deficiency. This paper is a summary review of recent findings on the orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) farme...

Dry and starchy orange-fleshed sweetpotato farmer varieties: Implications for fighting vitamin A defiency in East and Central Africa.
Sweetness of sweetpotato is considered to be a significant constraint to demand for this crop in West Africa where starchy staple root crops with low flavor impact are important. Un-sweetpotato populations and varieties which may have use both for fresh consumption and in processed forms are ther...
