Christian Education and Development Organization Orange Fleshed Sweet Potatoes Production

Since 2020 I started the cultivation of carrot-coloured potatoes, to increase nutrition and income in Nzega district, Tabora Region in Tanzania. This is a crop whose roots and leaves are eaten and contain a lot of nutrients. These potatoes are starchy in abundance, in addition to being starchy, potatoes contain the following nutrients in abundance; fibber, antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamins B1, B3, B2, B5, B6, vitamin E and K. In addition to this, potatoes contain Potas, fermentation, protein, calcium, sodium, iron and phosphorus that are essential for our health. These potatoes are also useful for increasing income for families because if you grow one acre you harvest 10 to 12 tonnes, which you will sell and increase income.
