FARMKENYA INITIATIVE Crop By Anne Atieno | February 16th 2021 at 12:00:00 GMT +0300 Sweet potato traders at Namba Junction in Suna West sub-county. [Caleb Kingwara, Standard] Migori sweet potato farmers are set to benefit from a Sh110 million factory that seeks to ensure value addition. The county s Agriculture department said the processing plant would increase sweet potato pricing from Sh8 to Sh15 a kilogramme. The low price of sweet potatoes has negatively impacted farmers in Kuria where a 100kg bag goes for Sh1,600, while a 90kg bag costs Sh900, which is way below their costs of production. “Our hope was dimmed but now we are confident that we will be getting some good income from sweet potatoes. The processing plant has come at a good time. We are looking forward to a new economic venture,” said Mary Mwita who abandoned tobacco farming for sweet potatoes.
