The International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), through its Resilient and Efficient Agribusiness Chains (REACH) project in Uganda, has worked to create potato value chains that benefit all actors, from farmers to processors and consumers. The project has trained 11,312 potato farmers from 885 farmer groups, with a special focus on women, in good agronomic practices and farming as a business. Additionally, 30% of the farmer groups that have been introduced to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are now selling produce to MSMEs in western Uganda.
