State of the art sweet potato factory located at Getonganya is projected to be the game changer in sweet potato value chain development. It is to address the bottle necks that have been faced in the sub sector nationally.
These include: unstructured market challenges through formal aggregation centres in the production areas, reduce post production losses while improving shelf life of the products through safe storage and value addition for various market segments.
Currently the department through the leadership of Waziri Hon Lucas Mosenda is working closely with Kenya Industrial Research & Development Institute (KIRDI) and KEBS to ensure that the factory produces commercial volumes of quality, healthy and certified for the general public in the county and beyond .
