Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The discussion emphasizes that while high-quality planting material is an essential starting point, the final outcome of potato farming depends on broader factors like crop management, available inputs, market access, and the prices farmers receive. This suggests that sector growth requires a value-chain approach, particularly in informal markets.
