Productivity and food security effects of using of certified seed potato: The case of Kenya's potato farmers
Scarcity of good quality seed is major obstacle to expanded potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production in sub-saharan Africa (SSA). Constraints in availability and supply of seed potato are partly attributable to challenges in production of pre-basic which is an intermediary step necessary in produ...
