Sweet potatoes 🍠 tolerant to virus attack can grow with any symptoms, putting the yield of small farmers at risk. Remote sensing 🛰️+ AI ⚙️+ rapid detection tools🧬can help to detect resistant and tolerant 🍠. How? ➡️ bit.ly/49Wu3Rf 🔸@Cipotato 🔸@gatesfoundation
Grateful to have received our Sensory Panelist certificates! Big thanks to @CipotatoRW , @UR_CAVM & our amazing trainer @MWIZERWAH for guiding us through this flavorful journey. Ready to explore the world of taste with newfound expertise! #CertifiedSensoryPanelist
In a collaborative effort, CIP & UR-CAVM trained 16 students in sensory evaluation of sweetpotato crisps/chips. These skilled personnel play a crucial role in assessing the quality of sweetpotato crisps derived from diverse varieties under multilocation trials.
Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSP) are a real game-changer. Recognition of the health benefits of pro-vitamin A OFSP has inspired processed products such as pre-cut, cubed, mashed, or pureed sweet potato. @SaliouNiassy @CarolineMudere1 @DubeTimoth @MWIZERWAH

As part of strengthening the capacity & competitiveness of sweetpotato processors, @Cipotato under TAFS-WCA initiative provided training to 17 staff members from 10 sweetpotato processing SMEs on HACCP principles, hygiene & sanitary best practices in small-scale processing units.
These are huge milestones in reducing yield gaps in SSA. Keep the pace @CipotatoRW come see this @ChitataTavengwa @CarolineMudere1

Rwanda is seeking to increase sweet potato production from eight to 30 tonnes per hectare using six new varieties so as to replace wheat in baking and thus cut imports @CipotatoRW newtimes.co.rw/article/11751/…

Exciting news! RAB & CIP have teamed up to create a potato learning site at RAB Musanze station. Now farmers, seed multipliers, extensionists, & agronomists can visit to explore & understand the performance of different new potato varieties that were recently released in Rwanda.
We have successfully concluded the sensory evaluation of crisps & fries derived from six distinct sweetpotato varieties under multilocation trials. The crisps were expertly produced by @HollandaFoods while the chips were meticulously crafted using a manual cut-a-chip machine.
