Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes could be gamechanger for Zimbabwe s farmers

Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes could be gamechanger for Zimbabwe’s farmers Recently, Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Resettlement added the orange-fleshed sweet potato to the nation’s food basket. Some call this a giant step towards improving exports of sweet potatoes and livelihoods of farmers. Improved livelihoods through the adoption and increased production of diversified crops is underpinned in the Horticulture Recovery and Growth Plan launched by President Mnangagwa last year. The plan is set to revitalize the agricultural sector in line with the vision of making Zimbabwe an upper middle-income economy by 2030. Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, John Basera, noted that the new variety will contribute to diversifying the food and nutrition system as well as improve income sources. This means that smallholder and communal farmers are tipped to benefit more through the adoption of the orange-fleshed sweet potato.
