The African Potato Association (APA) is a non-profi t organization formed in 1983 and its core objective is to promote the production and the use of potato and sweetpotato in Africa. Currently, most APA members are scientists and practitioners drawn from 20 African countries, including North Africa. Every three years, the APA holds a scientifi c conference to review progress in potato and sweetpotato research in Africa. The conference also provides an opportunity for scientists to interact with other stakeholders in the sector through exhibitions, presentations and panel discussions and share knowledge, experiences and lessons learned. Kenya was selected to host the 9th Triennial APA Conference because of the critical role that potato and sweetpotato play in contributing to food security. It is against this background that Kenya’s State Ministry of Agriculture, the National Potato Council of Kenya and the International Potato Center have joined hands to organize and host this international event. The theme of the conference is Transforming Potato and Sweetpotato Value Chains for Food and Nutrition

Security.

The fi ve major sub-themes are:

1. Appropriate policies for germplasm exchange, food security and trade in Africa,

2. Getting seed systems moving,

3. Major advances in breeding and crop management

4. Innovations in post-harvest management, processing technologies and marketing systems

5. New evidence concerning nutritional value and changing behaviors.

The papers from the conference will be published by CABI and the posters uploaded on their website.

The program is presented fi rst in a summary version, without all of the details for the oral presentations, and then in a more detailed version, listing the titles and presenters of all oral presentations. After the title, there is an abstract number provided in parentheses to facilitate locating the abstract in the accompanying abstract book.

Introduction to the Themes of the 9th Triennial APA Conference


APA 2013 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Strategies to improve poor seed potato quality and supply in Sub-Saharan Africa

Paul Demo is a potato specialist with 23 years of experience working in Sub-Saharan Africa and currently the International Potato Center’s (CIP) Senior Country Liaison Scientist for Malawi. His long-term research interest is on how to solve the problem of shortage of quality seed potato using innovative seed production systems and public-private sector partnerships. He also has substantial experience in the selection of adapted potato varieties for diff erent end users and potato crop management. Prior to joining CIP, he played a leading role in developing the potato program in his native country of Cameroun (1990-2003). From 2003 to 2006, he served as SSA Regional Potato Expert for Eastern and Central Africa. Since 2007, he has been based in Lilongwe, Malawi, leading CIP’s program in Malawi and designing the programs for CIP’s potato work in Mozambique and Angola. CIP’s work in Malawi, supported by Irish Aid and the Scottish government, focuses on the development of a sustainable quality seed potato multiplication system, variety selection and public-private partnerships approach to build viable value chains.

Was small ever beautiful? Moving local sweetpotato seed systems to scale in Sub-Saharan Africa

Margaret McEwan is a social scientist with over 30 years working in rural development, farming systems research, household food security and nutrition in eastern and southern Africa. She has a strong interest in how to engage multi-disciplinary teams and stakeholder partnerships in ensuring improved livelihoods and nutrition outcomes. Her current research interests explore the interaction between agricultural technology and society, and how diff ering perceptions of seed quality infl uences the institutional arrangements for emerging sweetpotato seed systems in Tanzania and Ethiopia. These fi ndings will lead to an understanding of how to retain the quality of sweetpotato planting material when seed systems are used at a larger scale. Margaret joined CIP at the end of 2008. Prior to this, she worked with FAO, SIDA, and AUSAID.


Role of Intellectual Property in Facilitating Technology Transfer

Ian Barker is head of Agricultural Partnerships at the Syngenta Foundation. He has over 25 years of experience of R&D management in plant pathology and diagnostics technology. Before joining the Foundation, he was Head of Seed Systems for the International Potato Center (CIP) in Nairobi, improving the provision of aff ordable quality planting material for smallholders in developing countries. Ian chaired CIP’s public-private partnership committee, and has implemented innovative partnerships using private sector investment and know-how to increase the availability of quality potato seed in East Africa. Previously, he worked as Head of Diagnostics at the UK Food and Environment Research Agency, developing and commercializing novel diagnostic methods for plant and animal diseases as well as food and feed contaminants. Ian graduated from Wye College, University of London, and holds a PhD from the University of Exeter, UK. Within the Foundation, he is currently responsible for leading a program aimed at assuring access to quality seed of improved varieties for small-holder farmers.

Disease Management, especially viruses in potato and sweetpotato

Dr Jari Valkonen is the professor of plant pathology at the University of Helsinki, Finland. His areas of expertise are in molecular virus-plant interactions and pathogen defense of plants. Most of his research and published works concern viruses of potato and sweetpotato and aim especially to deeper understanding of the antiviral mechanisms. Since the early 1990s, his work has included collaboration with CIP and since middle 1990s East African institutes, such as Makerere University, Uganda, and Mikocheni Agricultural Research Institute, Tanzania. An important aspect of the studies is also education of young scientists. Under his supervision, over 30 doctoral theses have been completed or are on-going. Among these, eight are focused on viruses in sweetpotato or cassava in East Africa and fi ve are authored by East African scientists. Valkonen is currently involved in the Seed Potato Development Project in Tanzania supported by the Finnish government and coordinated by CIP.


Advances in sweetpotato breeding from 1992 to 2012

Robert Mwanga has over 30 years of experience working with national and international sweetpotato research and development teams. He led the Uganda program on multiple-trait improvement of sweetpotato, breeding for increased beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A) in the HarvestPlus Program in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and the Vitamin A for Africa (VITAA) initiative to alleviate vitamin A defi ciency (VAD) in SSA. In Uganda, his research team released 20 cultivars, of which NASPOT 1, NASPOT 11, NASPOT 9 O (Vita) and NASPOT 10 O (Kabode), have been widely promoted and disseminated, the latter two for combating VAD in SSA countries. Dr. Mwanga has led, since 2009, regional sweetpotato breeding work in East and Central Africa under the Sweetpotato Action for Security and Health in Africa (SASHA) project of CIP, applying modern methods of plant breeding, such as accelerated breeding, and developing resistance to weevils and viruses by conventional and biotechnology means to improve the effi ciency of sweetpotato breeding in the region.

On the road to potato processing in African tropical highlands

Prof. dr ir Anton J. Haverkort coordinates potato research projects at Plant Research International – Wageningen University and Research Centre in the Netherlands and is an extra-ordinary professor of Crop and Soil Science at the University of Pretoria (South Africa).

After completing his Master’s degree, he worked for many years for the International Potato Centre in Turkey, Rwanda, Peru and in Tunisia to improve potato production through agronomy, breeding and crop protection. He obtained his PhD at University of Reading (UK) in mathematical modelling of the infl uence of temperature and solar radiation on potato development and growth in tropical highlands.

At Wageningen University, he coordinates research on the development of a cisgenic marker free late blight potato (www.durph.nl). Additionally, he carries out research on data management (ontology) in the French fries supply chain and leads sustainable potato production projects in eight countries on four continents aimed at the effi cient use of resources (land, water, energy) and value creation through trade and processing.

He has published over 75 scientifi c papers, 5 books and hundreds of conference papers, book chapters, columns and articles for professional journals. He is a chairman or member of various potato committees in the Netherlands dealing with seed certifi cation and genetic modifi cation and was secretary general of the European Association of Potato Research. He travels frequently for potato research and consultancy for the industry, and international governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Currently he is leading the improvement of processing potato and sweetpotato in Sichuan Province, which has the largest sweet-potato and potato production area and output in China. The agro-industry processing of “starch-noodle-instant noodle” and snack foods have been commercially successful. In recent years, Dr. Jiang has won seven Chinese state patents as well as three science & technology progressive prizes inprocessing technology and machine improvements from the government, mostly for root & tuber products, including starch, noodles, snack foods, instant foods, whole nutrition fl our and puree. Dr. Jiang engages in international exchange and cooperation with the International Potato Center (CIP) and many other organizations at home and abroad.

Paradigm Shifts in Potato and Sweetpotato Research: Adapting the Agriculture Products Value Chain in Kenya

Dr. Lusike Wasilwa is the Assistant Director in charge of Horticulture and Industrial Crops Research at the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute. She obtained her doctorate from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville in 1998 and a post-doctorate in Plant Pathology at Rutgers University in New Jersey in 2002. She was trained in horticulture and molecular plant pathology in the U.S., and participated in disseminating nutritional information on horticultural crops to local communities. In 2010,she received three medals from the International Society for Horticultural Science and is now the Vice Chairperson of the International Advisory Board of the Horticulture Collaborative Support Project, which is managed by the University of California at Davis.


Assessing Nutritional Value and Changing Behaviors Regarding Sweetpotato Use in Sub-Saharan Africa

Jan Low is an agricultural economist with over 20 years of experience working in sub-Saharan Africa. Her long-term research interest is on how to successfully integrate nutritional concerns into agricultural research and development, with a special focus on micronutrient-enhanced (“biofortifi ed”) staple food crops. She also has considerable experience and interest in agricultural policy, safety nets, poverty analysis, and seed systems. She has designed, implemented, and analyzed numerous household surveys and is knowledgeable in database management. After serving 4.5 years as CIP’s regional leader in SSA, Dr. Low is now leading the 10 year Sweetpotato Initiative launched in October 2009 to enhance the lives of 10 million African families in 10 years through exploiting the potential of sweetpotato to reduce poverty and undernutrition. The Sweetpotato Action for Security and Health in Africa is the foundation project supporting core research for development work for this multi-donor, multi-sector eff ort. Dr. Low is the current president for the APA.

Addressing the changing consumer behaviour in the South African market

Etienne Booyens currently is the Marketing Manager at Potatoes South Africa and has occupied the position for the past six and a half years, but has been involved in the potato and fresh produce industry for almost 18 years. Apart from his position as Marketing Manager, he is also Managing Director of Prokon (a Fresh Produce Quality Control Company on all the Fresh Produce Markets) and a Trustee of 5-a-Day Trust as well as a member of the International Potato Group.

He completed several courses and a degree in Business Management, Marketing and International Marketing at the Post Graduate School at the University of Pretoria, the University of South Africa (UNISA) and the University of the Free State. This helps him in his daily activities managing local marketing activities as well as foreign market development. His position at PSA expects him to negotiate with all sectors of the supply chain: from the most informal to the most formal.

Most recent engagements include local TV and radio appearances, presentations made locally and abroad,establishing good relations with potato-related institutions in foreign countries.

FIELD TRIPS

Vitamin A defi ciency (VAD) contributes to blindness, disease, and premature death in Sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant or lactating women and young children are particularly at risk of VAD. Thus pregnancy is an opportune time to reach women with nutritional and health interventions to lower their risk of VAD and enhance the survival and growth of their infants.

The Mama SASHA project integrates agriculture and nutrition into antenatal health care services (ANC) to maximize benefi ts of OFSP, an important source of energy and beta-carotene (pro-Vitamin A), especially for mothers and young children. The challenge is to introduce OFSP into an area where traditionally farmers grow cream and yellow-fl eshed varieties. The project aims to provide solid evidence for the eff ectiveness of this innovative approach. It is expected this will have positive impacts on the consumption of Vitamin A-rich foods and use of ANC services.

The project uses community health workers (CHWs) supported by APHIA Plus (USAID) to encourage pregnant women to seek early ANC and postnatal care services (PNC). In addition, CHWs form and run community-level pregnant mothers clubs (PMCs) with monthly dialogue sessions on nutrition and health.

During each ANC visit, ANC nurses provide improved nutrition counseling along with vouchers, which the women use to obtain OFSP planting material from trained vine multipliers (DVMs) for planting and eventual consumption of OFSP roots. Extension workers follow up the women benefi tting in their homes with agronomic advice.

To evaluate the program’s impact, an equal number of intervention and control sites were randomly selected from among eight health facilities. The four intervention sites receive the full range of nutrition, outreach, and health services along with the vouchers. At the four control facilities, just normal ANC clinic services are provided (no additional nutrition counseling or vouchers).

Since April 2011, over 2800 pregnant or lactating women have received vouchers with over 70% redeeming them for vines, far exceeding the project’s goal of 900 women.

Kabondo area in Homa Bay County is the leading producer of sweetpotatoes consumed in Kenya, contributing over 60% of the national consumption, which translates into more than $37.5 million Ksh farm-gate value. Over 7,000 farmers are involved in production activities with at least an average of 0.5 acres each committed to the crop. Other than the traditional varieties, farmers have been introduced to high yielding orange-fl eshed sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties which are favoured for their high nutritional value, disease tolerance, early maturation period and diverse value addition opportunities.

However, there exist challenges of low productivity per unit area primarily driven by use of recycled and unclean planting material; poor agronomic practices; over-reliance on rain-fed production; inadequate investment in research on new and improved varieties as well as unsustainable marketing structures. To address this, the USAID-funded Kenya Horticulture Competitiveness Project (KHCP) has expanded the rapid seed multiplication system in collaboration with Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), Ministry of Agriculture, Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), private laboratories and major input suppliers. Marketing challenges are being addressed through scheduled production, collective marketing and capacity building on agri-business skills.

The Kabondo Sweet Potato Marketing and Cooperative Society (KSPMCS) is the only known sweetpotato cooperative in the country. KHCP seeks to build management and marketing capacity of the cooperative to enable membership benefi t from the marketing opportunities in the sweetpotato value chain and consequently improve their livelihoods through consolidation of produce for wholesale traders.

Whereas potato has gradually become a priority crop for the Kenyan population with enormous potential as both a food security as well as a cash crop capable of raising the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, availability of high quality input seed remains a key constraint in the development of the potato sector in Kenya. Moreover the potato processing sector faces severe shortages of high quality and appropriate varieties. This hinders the expansion and profi tability of the processing sector. In partnership with other key partners, including GIZ PSDA (Promotion of Private sector Development in Agriculture), GTIL (Genetics Technology International Transfer) and KARI (Kenya Agricultural Research Centre) Tigoni, and CIP (International Potato Center) scientists have successfully adapted a technology of producing high quality mini-tubers in a soil-less system known as “aeroponics”.

Kisima Farm is located on the northern slopes of Mount Kenya. This farm specializes in crop production, mainly barley, wheat, and fl owers; it has 10,000 acres and it is highly mechanized. Since the initiation of the potato project in 2009, Kisima Farm has produced over 4,000 tons of certifi ed seed in isolated fi elds with proper rotations for further distribution to trained seed multipliers and ware producers. Over 400,000 mini tubers have been realised.

This innovative system has allowed Kisima Farm to produce mini-tubers at far lower cost, reducing the number of fi eld generations required to multiply seed and thus reducing the impact of serious soil-borne disease constraints such as bacterial wilt. The rapid migration and establishment of this technology from the International Potato Center at Kisima Farm has signifi cantly contributed to the development of the potato industry in Kenya.

ADC Molo Seed Complex In-vitro multiplication in tissue culture room

ADC Molo In-vitro plantlets growth room

The Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) Molo is a center of seed potato production, storage and distribution. Potato is a priority crop for the Kenyan population with enormous potential for food security and as a cash crop capable of improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. A major constraint to improving potato production is a shortage of quality seed potato. A rapid seed potato multiplication system was established at ADC Molo consisting of a tissue culture lab and aeroponics system to produce minitubers for fi eld multiplication of certifi ed seed potato. In partnership with CIP (International Potato Centre) scientists, GIZ PSDA (Promotion of Private sector Development in Agriculture), GTIL (Genetics Technology International Transfer) and KARI (Kenya Agricultural Research Centre) Tigoni, ADC Molo is successfully producing high quality, certifi ed seed potato.

The fi eld trip will also include a visit to Tusibe, an association of women entrepreneurs. Through successive access to and repayment of loans of ever growing value, they developed and grew their bakery business based on products made from sweetpotato fl our. This dynamic group of women is responsible for all components along the value chain, from sweetpotato production in the fi eld, to milling the roots for fl our, baking and marketing.
