Potato (Solanum tuberosum L) has high productivity per unit area and its versatility in utilization makes it the second most important food crop in Kenya after maize. Potatoes are grown twice annually (long and short rains) and it is estimated 1.5 million tonnes are produced on about 161,000 hectares of land. This is worth between Ksh 40-50 billion each year and compares well with annual maize production of 40 million bags worth Ksh 120 billion (Potato Strategy, 2016). However, yields are generally low with an average yield of 10 tonnes per hectare (potential being 40 tonnes per ha achievable under recommended agronomic practices) due to a number of challenges such as inadequate use of high quality seed potato and other inputs. Lack of proper storage facilities on-farm and at the marketing centres has led to huge losses during marketing.
