CIP is working in East Africa to breed varieties of potatoes that combine three forms of resistance to late blight -- the disease that can exact costly tolls on smallholding farmers.
This project aims to improve the livelihoods of Georgian farmers and rural communities by increasing the profitability and sustainability of potato crops and building the capacity of national stakeholders in the seed potato value chain.

While demand for potatoes is expanding throughout sub-Saharan Africa, productivity is still limited by a lack of clean, disease-free planting materials. This project seeks to boost food security and incomes among smallholder potato farmers by tackling one of their chief constraints-bacterial wilt...
